He Īnoi mō te Whakangungu
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1 Tahuri tōu taringa, e Ihowā, ki āku kupu,
kia mōhio koe ki tōku whakaaroaronga.
2 Whakarongo ki te reo o tāku karanga,
e tōku Kīngi, e tōku Atua,
he īnoi hoki tāku ki a koe.
3 E rongo koe ki tōku reo, e Ihowā, i te ata;
i te ata ka whakatikaia atu e ahau tāku īnoi ki a koe,
ā, ka titiro matatau atu.
4 Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara,
e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.
5 E kore te hunga wairangi e tū ki tōu aroaro;
e kinongia ana e koe ngā kaimahi katoa i te kino.
6 E ngaro i a koe te hunga kōrero teka;
e whakarihariha ana a Ihowā
ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hīanga.
7 Ko ahau ia ka haere i runga i te tini
o āu atawhai ki tōu whare;
ka koropiko ki te ritenga o tāu temepara tapu,
me te wehi anō ki a koe.
8 E Ihowā, ārahina ahau i runga i tōu tika,
he hoariri hoki ōku;
whakatikaia tāu ara i mua i ahau.
9 Kāhore hoki he pono i ō rātou māngai;
he kino kau a roto i a rātou;
he urupā puare noa ō rātou korokoro;
e patipati ana ō rātou arero.
10 Whakataua te hara ki a rātou, e te Atua;
kia hinga rātou i ō rātou whakaaro.
Peia atu rātou me ā rātou tini mahi tutū;
mō rātou i whakakeke ki a koe.
11 Nā, kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe.
Kia hāmama tonu rātou i te koa,
mō rātou e hīpokina nei e koe;
ā, kia whakamanamana ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki tōu ingoa.
12 Nō te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowā, te tangata tika;
me he whakangungu rākau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.
