1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.2 Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.3 Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake.4 Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.5 He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.6 E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.7 E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa.8 Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri.9 Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia.10 Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.

1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
