Salmos 119

Te Whakarongo ki te Ture a Ihowā

9 He aha te mea e mā ai i te taitamariki tōna ara?

Kia rite ki tāu kupu tāna whakamaharatanga iho.

10 Kua whakapaua e ahau tōku ngākau ki te rapu i a koe;

kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti kē i āu whakahau.

11 Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tāu kupu ki roto ki tōku ngākau,

kei hara ahau ki a koe.

12 E Ihowā, ka whakapaingia koe;

whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga.

13 Kua whakapuakina e ōku ngutu

ngā whakaritenga katoa a tōu māngai.

14 Ko tōku koa i te ara o āu whakaaturanga,

me te mea mō ngā taonga katoa.

15 Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki āu ako,

ā, ka whai mahara ki āu huarahi.

16 He oranga ngākau ki ahau āu tikanga;

e kore ahau e wareware ki tāu kupu.
