1 K i te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E te Atua, e whakamoemiti nei ahau, kei wahangu koe:

2 K ua puaki hoki te mangai o te tangata kino me te mangai o te tangata tinihanga, ki te he moku: he teka o ratou arero, e korero nei moku.

3 I karapotia hoki ahau e ratou ki nga kupu mauahara, a i whawhai takekore ki ahau.

4 M o toku aroha he riri ta ratou whakautu: ko ahau ia, he inoi taku.

5 E homai ana e ratou ki ahau he kino mo te pai, he mauahara mo toku aroha.

6 M einga he tangata kino hei rangatira mona; kia tu he hoariri ki tona ringa matau.

7 K ia tau te he ki a ia, ina whakawakia: kia waiho ano tana inoi hei hara.

8 K ia torutoru ona ra; kia riro tana mahi tirotiro i tetahi atu.

9 K ia pania ana tamariki, kia pouarutia hoki tana wahine.

10 K ia kopikopiko noa ana tamariki, pinono ai: kia rapu kai hoki ma ratou i o ratou wahi mokemoke.

11 K ia haoa e te kaituku moni ana mea katoa; kia pahuatia hoki e nga tangata iwi ke ana mauiuitanga.

12 K aua tetahi hei hoatu noa i te aroha ki a ia: kaua hoki tetahi hei atawhai i ana pani.

13 K ia hatepea putia ona uri: a i to muri whakatupuranga kia horoia rawatia atu o ratou ingoa.

14 K ia maharatia e Ihowa te kino o ona matua: kei murua hoki te hara o tona whaea.

15 K ia mau tonu ki te aroaro o Ihowa: kia hatepea atu ai e ia te maharatanga ki a ratou i runga i te whenua.

16 M ona kihai i mahara ki te mahi tohu: heoi tukino ana ia i te ware, i te rawakore, i te hunga ngakau maru, kia patua ai ratou.

17 A e ra, i pai ia ki te kanga, a kua tae mai ki a ia: kihai ia i aro ki te manaaki, heoi kua mamao tera i a ia.

18 I kakahu ia i te kanga ki a ia, ano ko tona kakahu: na kua tae tera ki roto ki a ia ano he wai, me he hinu hoki ki roto ki ona wheua.

19 W aiho ki a ia hei kakahu hipoki mona, hei whitiki hoki e whitikiria tonutia ai ia.

20 N a hei utu tena ma Ihowa ki oku hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e korero kino nei ki toku wairua.

21 K ia puta tau mahi moku, e te Atua, e te Ariki, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa: na te mea he pai tau mahi tohu, whakaorangia ahau,

22 H e ware hoki ahau, he rawakore, kua mamae hoki toku ngakau i roto i ahau.

23 K a riro ahau me te atarangi e whakawairua kau ana: e peipeia ana ahau me he mawhitiwhiti.

24 H urorirori kau oku turi i te nohopuku; a e kohia ana te ngako o oku kikokiko.

25 K ua waiho ahau hei tawainga ma ratou: ka kite ratou i ahau, ka ruru o ratou matenga.

26 A whinatia ahau, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakaora i ahau.

27 K ia matau ai ratou ko tou ringa itene: a nau tenei, e Ihowa, i mea.

28 M a ratou e kanga, mau ia e manaaki: kia whakama ratou ina whakatika; ko tau pononga ia kia hari.

29 K ia whakakakahuria oku hoariri ki te whakama, a ko to ratou numinumi hei koroka hipoki mo ratou.

30 K a tino whakawhetai toku mangai ki a Ihowa, ae ra, ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a ia i waenganui o te mano.

31 E tu hoki ia ki te ringa matau o te rawakore, hei whakaora i a ia i te hunga e whakahe ana i tona wairua.
