He Manaakitanga o te Hunga Tika
1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowā,
e aro nui ana ki āna whakahau.
2 Ka nui ōna uri ki runga ki te whenua;
ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.
3 Kei tōna whare te rawa, te taonga;
ka pūmau tonu tōna tika, ake ake.
4 Ka maea ake te mārama i roto i te pōuri ki te hunga tika;
he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.
5 He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tāna mahi;
ka ū āna kupu i te whakawākanga.
6 E kore hoki ia e whakangāueuetia ake ake;
ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.
7 E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino;
e ū ana tōna ngākau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowā.
8 Ka ū tōna ngākau, e kore ia e wehi;
kia kite rā anō ia i tāna i hiahia ai ki ōna hoariri.
9 Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore;
pūmau tonu tōna tika ake ake;
ka ara tōna haona i runga i te korōria.
10 Ka kite te tangata kino, ā, ka pōuri;
ka pakiri ōna niho, memeha iho;
pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.
1 Praise ye Jehovah.
Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,
That delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house;
And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;
He shall maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he shall never be moved;
The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,
Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;
His righteousness endureth for ever:
His horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
