119.
Ka hari te hunga he tapatahi nei i te ara, e haere nei i te Ture a Ihowā. 
Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki āna whakaaturanga; e whakapaua ana ō rātou ngākau ki te rapu i a ia, 
āe, e kore rātou e mahi i te kino; e haere ana rātou i āna ara. 
Kua oti mātou te whakahau ki āu akoranga, kia āta puritia e mātou. 
Auē, me i whakatikaia tōku ara ki te pupuri i āu akoranga! 
Ko reira ahau ka kore ai e whakamā; i ahau ka whai whakaaro nei ki āu whakahau katoa. 
Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te ngākau tika, ina ako ahau i āu whakaritenga tika. 
Ka puritia e ahau āu tikanga; kaua ahau e whakarērea rawatia. 
He aha te mea e mā ai i te taitamariki tōna ara? Kia rite ki tāu kupu tāna whakamaharatanga iho. 
Kua whakapaua e ahau tōku ngākau ki te rapu i a koe; kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti kē i āu whakahau. 
Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tāu kupu ki roto ki tōku ngākau, kei hara ahau ki a koe. 
E Ihowā, ka whakapaingia koe; whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Kua whakapuakina e ōku ngutu ngā whakaritenga katoa a tōu māngai. 
Ko tōku koa i te ara o āu whakaaturanga, me te mea mō ngā taonga katoa. 
Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki āu ako, ā, ka whai mahara ki āu huarahi. 
He oranga ngākau ki ahau āu tikanga; e kore ahau e wareware ki tāu kupu. 
Kia atawhai ki tāu pononga, kia ora ai ahau; kia puritia ai hoki tāu kupu. 
Whakatirohia ōku kanohi kia kite ai ahau i ngā mea whakamīharo i roto i tāu ture. 
He manene ahau i runga i te whenua; kaua āu whakahau e hunā ki ahau. 
Ka ngawhā tōku wairua i te matenui atu ki āu whakaritenga i ngā wā katoa. 
Kua rīria e koe te hunga whakakake kua oti nei te kanga, e kotiti kē nei i āu whakahau, 
parea atu i ahau te tāwai me te whakahāwea, kua mau hoki ahau ki āu whakaaturanga. 
I noho anō hoki ngā rangatira ki te kōrero kino mōku; otirā e whakaaro ana tāu pononga ki āu tikanga. 
Ko āu whakaaturanga anō tōku oranga ngākau, ōku hoa whakatakoto whakaaro. 
Piri tonu tōku wairua ki te puehu; whakahauoratia ahau kia rite ki tāu kupu. 
I whakaaturia e ahau ōku ara, ā, whakahoki kupu ana koe ki ahau; whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Meinga ahau kia mātau ki te ara o āu ako, kia whakaaroaro ai ahau ki āu mahi whakamīharo. 
E māturuturu iho ana tōku wairua i te pōuri; kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu whakaū ake i ahau. 
Whakamataratia atu i ahau te ara o te teka; kia atawhai mai hoki, ā, hōmai tāu ture. 
Kua whiriwhiria e ahau te ara o te pono; ka waiho e ahau āu whakaritenga ki tōku aroaro. 
Piri tonu ahau ki āu whakaaturanga, e Ihowā; kei whakamā ahau. 
Ka oma ahau i te ara o āu whakahau, ina whakanuia e koe tōku ngākau. 
E Ihowā, whakaakona ahau ki te ara o āu tikanga; ā, ka mau i ahau taea noatia te mutunga. 
Hōmai he mātauranga ki ahau, ā, ka mau i ahau tāu ture; ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te pupuri. 
Meinga ahau kia haere i te ara o āu whakahau; ko tāku hoki tēnā e whakaahuareka nei. 
Whakaangahia tōku ngākau ki āu whakaaturanga; kaua hoki ki te apo. 
Whakatahuritia kētia ōku kanohi kei kite i te horihori; whakahauorangia ahau i tāu ara. 
Whakapūmautia tāu kupu ki tāu pononga, e wehi nei ki a koe. 
Parea atu tōku tāwainga, e wehi nei ahau, he pai hoki āu whakaritenga. 
Nanā, kua matenui ahau ki āu ako; whakahauorangia ahau i runga i tōu tika. 
Kia puta anō āu mahi tohu ki ahau, e Ihowā, arā tāu whakaoranga, kia rite ki tāu kupu. 
Pēnei ka whai kupu māku ki tōku kaitāwai; nōku ka whakawhirinaki ki tāu kupu. 
Kaua e tangohia rawatia i tōku māngai te kupu o te pono, e tūmanako nei hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga. 
Pēnei ka puritia e ahau tāu ture ake ake. 
Ā, ka hāereere noa ahau, kua rapua hoki e ahau āu akoranga. 
Ka kōrerotia anō e ahau āu whakaaturanga ki te aroaro o ngā kīngi, e kore anō e whakamā. 
Ā, ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngākau mōku āu whakahau e aroha nei ahau. 
Ka toro atu hoki ōku ringa ki āu whakahau e aroha nei ahau, ka whakaaroaro anō ki āu tikanga. 
Maharatia te kupu ki tāu pononga, nō te mea kua meinga ahau e koe kia tūmanako atu. 
Ko tōku oranga ngākau tēnei i ahau e tangi nei; nā tāu kupu nei hoki ahau i whakahauora. 
Nui rawa te whakahī ki ahau o te hunga whakakake, heoi, kīhai ahau i peka kē i tāu ture. 
I mahara ahau ki āu whakaritenga, e Ihowā, o tua iho; ā, mārie ana tōku ngākau. 
Mau pū ahau i te pāwera, mō te hunga kino kua whakarere nei i tāu ture. 
Ko āu tikanga āku e hīmene ai i te whare i noho manene ai ahau. 
I mahara ahau ki tōu ingoa i te pō, e Ihowā, ā, puritia ana e ahau tāu ture. 
I ahau tēnei, he mau nōku ki āu ako. 
Ko Ihowā tōku wāhi; kua mea nei ahau, ka pupuri ahau i āu kupu. 
I whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te īnoi ki a koe kia pai mai; kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu mahi tohu ki ahau. 
I whakaaro ahau ki ōku ara, ā, anga ana ōku waewae ki āu whakaaturanga; 
i hohoro ahau, ā, kīhai i whakaroa ki te pupuri i āu whakahau. 
Karapotia pūtia ana ahau e ngā here a te hunga kino, kīhai ia ahau i wareware ki tāu ture. 
I waenganui pō ka ara ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe mō āu whakaritenga tika. 
He hoa ahau nō te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a koe, nō te hunga anō e pupuri ana i āu ako. 
Kī tonu, e Ihowā, te whenua i tāu mahi tohu; whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Pai rawa tāu hanga ki tāu pononga, e Ihowā, rite tonu ki tāu kupu. 
Whakaakona ahau ki te ngārahu pai, ki te mātauranga; kua whakapono hoki ahau ki āu whakahau. 
I ahau kīanō i whakawhiua, i hē ahau; tēnā ko tēnei, ka puritia e ahau tāu kupu. 
He pai koe, he pai hoki āu mahi; whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Kua titoa e te hunga whakakake he teka mōku; ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te pupuri i āu ako. 
He ngako rawa tō rātou ngākau, koia anō kei te taupā; ko ahau ia, he oranga ngākau ki ahau tāu ture. 
Mārie anō ahau kia pēhia e te pōuri; i ako ai ahau i āu tikanga. 
Ko te ture a tōu māngai pai kē atu ki ahau i ngā mano o te kōura, o te hiriwa. 
Nā ōu ringa ahau i hanga, i whakawhaiahua; hōmai he mātauranga ki ahau, kia ako ai ahau ki āu whakahau. 
Ka hari te hunga e wehi ana i a koe ina kite i ahau; nōku i tūmanako ki tāu kupu. 
E mātau ana ahau, e Ihowā, he tika āu whakaritenga, ā, he pono nōu i pēhia ai tōku ngākau e koe. 
Tēnā rā, waiho tāu mahi tohu hei whakamārie mōku, kia rite ki tāu kupu ki tāu pononga. 
Kia puta ki ahau āu mahi aroha, kia ora ai ahau; ko tāu ture hoki tōku oranga ngākau. 
Kia whakamā te hunga whakakake, nō te mea kāhore he take i hē ai tā rātou hanga ki ahau; ko ahau ia ka whakaaroaro ki āu akoranga. 
Ko te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe me anga ki ahau, ā, ka mōhio rātou ki āu whakaaturanga. 
Kia tapatahi tōku ngākau ki āu tikanga; kei whakamā ahau. 
E matenui ana tōku wairua ki tāu whakaoranga; otiia ka tūmanako ahau ki tāu kupu. 
Matawaia ana ōku kanohi he meatanga ki tāu kupu; i ahau e mea ana, “Āhea koe whakamārie ai i ahau?” 
Kua rite nei hoki ahau ki te kōkī i roto i te paoa; he ahakoa e kore ahau e wareware ki āu tikanga. 
E hia ngā rā o tāu pononga? Āhea koe whakarite whakawā ai mō te hunga e tūkino nei i ahau? 
Kua keri poka te hunga whakakake mōku; he mea kāhore e rite ki tāu ture. 
Pono tonu āu whakahau katoa; e tūkino takekore ana rātou i ahau; āwhinatia mai ahau. 
Wāhi iti kua mōtī ahau i a rātou i runga i te whenua; otirā kīhai i mahue i ahau āu akoranga. 
Kia rite ki tōu aroha tāu whakahauora i ahau; ā, ka puritia e ahau ngā whakaaturanga a tōu māngai. 
Pūmau tonu tāu kupu, e Ihowā, ake ake i runga i te rangi. 
Kei ngā whakatupuranga katoa tōu pono; whakaūngia ana e koe te whenua, ā, e tū nei anō. 
E tū nei anō ināianei, pērā tonu me tāu i whakarite ai, he pononga hoki ngā mea katoa nāu. 
Me kaua tāu ture hei oranga mō tōku ngākau, kua ngaro ahau i reira i tōku auētanga. 
E kore rawa ahau e wareware ki āu ako, he mea whakahauora hoki nāu ēnā i ahau. 
Nāu ahau; māu ahau e whakaora, kua rapua hoki e ahau āu ako. 
Kua tatari te hunga kino ki ahau kia whakamatea, ka whakaaro ia ahau ki āu whakaaturanga. 
Kua kitea e ahau te mutunga o ngā mea tino tika katoa, he whānui rawa ia tāu whakahau. 
Anō tōku aroha ki tāu ture! Ko tāku tēnā e whakaaroaro ai i te roa o te rā. 
Nāu i hira ake ai ōku whakaaro i o ōku hoariri, nā āu whakahau, e piri tonu nei ki ahau. 
Nui atu ōku mahara i o ōku kaiwhakaako katoa, nōku i whakaaroaro tonu ki āu whakaaturanga. 
Tērā atu tōku mōhio i tō ngā kaumātua, nō te mea i pupuri ahau i āu ako. 
Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau ōku waewae i ngā ara kino katoa, kia pupuri ai ahau i tāu kupu. 
Kīhai ahau i tītaha i āu whakaritenga; nāu hoki ahau i ako. 
Anō te reka o āu kupu ki tōku ngao, āe rā, reka atu i te honi ki tōku māngai. 
Nā āu ako ahau i whai mōhio ai; nā reira ahau i kino ai ki ngā ara teka katoa. 
He rama tāu kupu ki ōku waewae, he mārama ki tōku ara. 
Kua oati ahau, ā, ka whakamanā anō e ahau, kia puritia e ahau āu whakaritenga tika. 
He nui te mamae o tōku ngākau; whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowā, kia rite ki tāu kupu. 
Manakohia, e Ihowā, ngā ohaohatanga a tōku māngai, whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga. 
Kei tōku ringa tonu tōku wairua, heoi kāhore ahau e wareware ki tāu ture. 
Kua whakatakotoria e te hunga kino he māhanga mōku, heoi, kāhore ahau i peka kē i āu ako. 
Ka waiho e ahau āu whakaaturanga hei kāinga tupu mōku ake ake; ko tōku koanga ngākau hoki ēnā. 
Kua whakaanga e ahau tōku ngākau ki te mahi tonu i āu tikanga; ā te mutunga rā anō. 
E kino ana ahau ki te hunga whakaaro ruarua, ko tāu ture ia tāku e aroha ai. 
Ko tōku piringa koe, ko tōku whakangungu rākau; e tūmanako ana ahau ki tāu kupu. 
Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga kino, ka whakaritea hoki e ahau ngā whakahau a tōku Atua. 
Kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu tautoko ake i ahau, kia ora ai ahau, kaua hoki ahau e tukua kia whakamā ki tāku e tūmanako atu nei. 
Tautokona ake ahau, kia ora ai ahau, ā, ka whai whakaaro tonu ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Kua whakahāweatia e koe te hunga katoa e kotiti kē ana i āu tikanga; he horihori hoki tō rātou tinihanga. 
Ka whakakāhoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ānō he para mata; koia ahau i aroha ai ki āu whakaaturanga. 
Wiri ana ōku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe, e mataku ana hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga. 
He whakawā tika, he tika tāku mahi; kaua ahau e tukua ki ōku kaitūkino. 
Ko koe hei tuarā mō tāu pononga mō te pai; kei tūkinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake. 
Matawaia ana ōku kanohi i te meatanga ki tāu whakaora, ki te kupu hoki o tāu tika. 
Kia rite ki tōu aroha tāu mahi ki tāu pononga; whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu tikanga. 
He pononga ahau nāu; hōmai he mahara ki ahau, kia mātau ai ki āu whakaaturanga. 
Kua rite te wā hei mahinga mā Ihowā; kua whakakāhoretia hoki e rātou tāu ture. 
Nā reira i arohaina rawatia ai e ahau āu whakahau i te kōura, āe, i te tino kōura. 
Nā reira tika tonu ki ahau āu ako katoa mō ngā mea katoa; kino iho anō ahau ki ngā ara teka katoa. 
He mea whakamīharo āu whakaaturanga; i mau ai tōku wairua ki reira. 
Ko te whakapuakanga o āu kupu he hōmai mārama; nā reira i hōmai he mahara ki ngā kūware. 
I hāmama tōku māngai, i kihakiha; he matenui nōku ki āu whakahau. 
Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau; kia rite ki tāu hanga ki te hunga e aroha ana ki tōu ingoa. 
Whakatikaia ōku hīkoinga ki runga i tāu kupu; kaua hoki tētahi hē e tukua hei rangatira mōku. 
Whakaorangia ahau i te tūkino a te tangata; ā, ka puritia e ahau āu ako. 
Kia mārama mai tōu mata ki tāu pononga; whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Heke noa ngā awa wai o ōku kanohi; mō rātou kāhore i pupuri i tāu ture. 
He tika koe, e Ihowā, he tika anō āu whakaritenga. 
He tika, he pono rawa āu whakaaturanga i whakahaua mai e koe. 
Ka ngaro ahau i tōku ngākau whakapuke, mō āu kupu ka wareware nei i ōku hoariri. 
Hore rawa he para o tāu kupu; koia i arohaina ai e tāu pononga. 
He iti ahau, e whakahāweatia ana; heoi, kāhore ahau e wareware ki āu ako. 
He tika pūmau tonu tōu tika; he pono hoki tāu ture. 
Kua pā mai ki ahau te pōuri me te mamae; ko āu whakahau ia tōku oranga ngākau. 
Pūmau tonu te tika o āu whakaaturanga; hōmai he mahara ki ahau, ā, ka ora ahau. 
I whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te karanga; whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowā. Ka mau i ahau āu tikanga. 
I karanga ahau ki a koe; whakaorangia ahau, ā, ka puritia e ahau āu whakaaturanga. 
Kīanō te ata i pūao noa, kua karanga ahau; i tūmanako ahau ki āu kupu. 
I hohoro ōku kanohi i ngā mataaratanga ki te whakaaroaro ki tāu kupu. 
Whakarongo ki tōku reo, kia rite ki tōu aroha; kia rite, e Ihowā, ki tāu i whakarite ai tāu whakahauora i ahau. 
E whakatata mai ana te hunga e whai ana i te whanokē; kei tawhiti atu rātou i tāu ture. 
E tata ana mai koe, e Ihowā; he pono katoa āu whakahau. 
Nōnamata ahau i mātau ai ki āu whakaaturanga, he mea whakapūmau nāu nō tua whakarere. 
Whakaaro mai ki tōku mate, ā, whakaorangia ahau; kāhore hoki ahau e wareware ki tāu ture. 
Tohea tāku tohe, whakaorangia hoki ahau; kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu whakahauoranga i ahau. 
Kei tawhiti atu i te hunga kino te whakaoranga; kāhore hoki rātou e rapu ki āu tikanga. 
E Ihowā, he nui āu mahi tohu; kia rite ki āu whakaritenga tāu whakahauora i ahau. 
He tokomaha ōku kaitūkino, ōku hoariri, heoi, kāhore ahau i peka kē i āu whakaaturanga. 
I kite ahau i ngā kaimahi i te kino, ā pōuri iho, nō rātou kāhore e pupuri i tāu kupu. 
Tirohia mai tōku aroha ki āu ako; kia rite ki tōu aroha, e Ihowā, tāu whakahauora i ahau. 
Ko te huinga katoatanga o tāu kupu he pono; pūmau katoa anō āu whakaritenga tika ake ake. 
Hore he rawa i tūkinotia ai ahau e ngā rangatira, otiia, e wehi ana tōku ngākau i tāu kupu. 
E hari ana ahau ki tāu kupu, ānō he tangata kua whiwhi ki te taonga nui. 
E kino ana ahau, e whakarihariha ana ki te kōrero teka; ko tāu ture ia tāku i aroha ai. 
Takiwhitu āku whakamoemiti ki a koe i te rā tahi mō āu whakaritenga tika. 
He rangimārie nui tō te hunga e aroha ana ki tāu ture; e kore hoki ō rātou waewae e tūtuki. 
Ā, kua tūmanako ahau ki tāu whakaora, e Ihowā, kua mahi ahau i āu whakahau. 
Kua puritia e tōku wairua āu whakaaturanga, āe, e arohaina nuitia ana e ahau. 
Kua puritia e ahau āu ako me āu whakaaturanga; kei tōu aroaro hoki ōku ara katoa. 
Tukua atu tāku tangi kia tata atu ki tōu aroaro, e Ihowā; hōmai he mahara ki ahau, kia rite ki tāu kupu. 
Kia tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro; kia rite ki tāu kupu whakaora i ahau. 
Kia whakapuaki ōku ngutu i te whakamoemiti; e whakaako ana hoki koe i ahau ki āu tikanga. 
Mā tōku arero e kōrero tāu kupu; he tika hoki āu whakahau katoa. 
Kia rite tōu ringa ki te āwhina i ahau; kua whiriwhiria hoki e ahau ko āu ako. 
Kua matenui ahau ki tāu whakaora, e Ihowā; ko tāu ture hoki tōku oranga ngākau. 
Kia ora tōku wairua, ā, ka whakamoemiti ia ki a koe; kia āwhinatia hoki ahau e āu whakaritenga. 
Kua kotiti kē ahau me he hipi ngaro; rapua tāu pononga, kāhore hoki ahau e wareware ki āu whakahau.
