Psalms

He hemene, he waiata mo te tainga o te kawa o te whare. Na Rawiri. Ka whakanui ahau i a koe, e Ihowa; nau hoki ahau i hapai ake, a kihai i tukua oku hoariri kia hari ki ahau.

E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.

E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka.

Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.

He iti hoki te wahi e riri ai ia; he oranga ki te manakohia e ia: e tau iho te tangi i te ahiahi, a i te ata he hari.

I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.

He manakohanga nau, e Ihowa, i u ai i a koe te tu o toku maunga; i huna e koe tou mata a raru iho ahau.

E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.

He aha te pai o oku toto ina heke ahau ki te poka? Ma te puehu koia koe e whakamoemiti? mana oti e whakapuaki tou pono?

Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.

Kua puta ke i a koe taku tangi hei kanikani: kua wewete i toku kakahu taratara, a whitikiria ana ahau e koe ki te koa;

Hei mea e himene ai toku kororia ki a koe, kore ake e wahangu. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe ake ake.
