Psalms

E aroha ana ahau ki a Ihowa: mona i whakarongo ki toku reo, ki aku inoi.

I tahuri mai tona taringa ki ahau: mo reira ka karanga ahau ki a ia i ahau e ora ana.

I karapotia ahau e nga whakawiringa a te mate: mau pu ahau i nga mamae o te reinga, i kite ahau i te pawera, i te pouri.

Na ko taku karangatanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa; Tena ra, e Ihowa, whakaorangia toku wairua.

He atawhai a Ihowa, he tika: ae, he aroha to tatou Atua.

E tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga kuware: i whakaititia ahau, a nana ahau i whakaora.

E hoki, e toku wairua, ki tou okiokinga; kua atawhaitia hoki koe e Ihowa.

Nau hoki toku wairua i whakaora kei mate, oku kanohi kei whai roimata, oku waewae kei paheke.

Tera ahau e haereere i te aroaro o Ihowa i te whenua o te ora.

I whakapono ahau, koia ahau i korero ai: he nui toku whakawhiunga.

I mea ahau i toku ohoreretanga, He teka kau nga tangata katoa.

He aha taku e whakahoki ai ki a Ihowa mo ana atawhainga katoa i ahau?

Ka mau ahau ki te kapu o te whakaoranga, ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o tana iwi katoa.

He mea utu nui ki ta Ihowa titiro te matenga o tana hunga tapu.

E Ihowa, he pono ko ahau tau pononga; ko ahau tau pononga, ko te tama a tau pononga wahine; nau i wewete oku here.

Ka tukua e ahau te patunga tapu, ara te whakawhetai: ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ae, ki te aroaro o tana iwi katoa.

Ki nga marae o te whare o Ihowa, ki waenganui ou, e Hiruharama. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
