1 Na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i te aroaro o nga atua.2 Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tou temepara tapu, a ka whakamoemiti ki tou ingoa, mo tou aroha me tou pono: kua whakanuia hoki e koe tau kupu ki runga ake i tou ingoa katoa.3 I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te ra i karanga ai ahau: a whakahirihiritia ana e koe toku wairua ki te kaha.4 Ka whakamoemiti nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowa, kua rongo hoki ratou ki nga kupu a tou mangai.5 Ae, e waiata ratou mo nga ara o Ihowa: he nui hoki te kororia o Ihowa.6 Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowa, e titiro iho ana ano ia ki te hunga papaku: tena ko te tangata whakakake, i tawhiti ano kua matauria e ia.7 Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te he, mau ahau e whakahauora: ka totoro tou ringa ki te riri o oku hoa whawhai, ma tou ringa matau ano ahau e whakaora.8 Ma Ihowa e whakaoti aku mea: e Ihowa, e mau ana tau mahi tohu ake ake; kaua e whakarerea nga mahi a ou ringa.

1 Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.2 I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.3 When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.4 All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.5 They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.6 Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.7 Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.8 The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.
