100 Tera atu toku mohio i to nga kaumatua, no te mea i pupuri ahau i au ako.
I vnderstoode more then the ancient, because I kept thy precepts.
101 Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau oku waewae i nga ara kino katoa, kia pupuri ai ahau i tau kupu.
I haue refrained my feete from euery euil way, that I might keepe thy word.
102 Kihai ahau i titaha i au whakaritenga; nau hoki ahau i ako.
I haue not declined from thy iudgements: for thou didest teach me.
103 Ano te reka o au kupu ki toku ngao; ae ra, reka atu i te honi ki toku mangai.
Howe sweete are thy promises vnto my mouth! yea, more then hony vnto my mouth.

112 Kua whakaanga e ahau toku ngakau ki te mahi tonu i au tikanga: a te mutunga ra ano.
I haue applied mine heart to fulfill thy statutes alway, euen vnto the ende.

Away from mee, yee wicked: for I will keepe the commandements of my God.

Thou hast troden downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for their deceit is vaine.
119 Ka whakakahoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ano he para mata: koia ahau i aroha ai ki au whakaaturanga.
Thou hast taken away all ye wicked of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies.
120 Wiri ana oku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe; e mataku ana hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
My flesh trembleth for feare of thee, and I am afraide of thy iudgements.
121 He whakawa tika, he tika taku mahi: kaua ahau e tukua ki oku kaitukino.
AIN. I haue executed iudgement and iustice: leaue me not to mine oppressours.
122 Ko koe hei tuara mo tau pononga mo te pai: kei tukinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake.
Answere for thy seruant in that, which is good, and let not the proude oppresse me.
123 Matawaia ana oku kanohi i te meatanga ki tau whakaora, ki te kupu hoki o tau tika.

166 A kua tumanako ahau ki tau whakaora, e Ihowa, kua mahi ahau i au whakahau.
Lord, I haue trusted in thy saluation, and haue done thy commandements.
167 Kua puritia e toku wairua au whakaaturanga, ae, e arohaina nuitia ana e ahau.
My soule hath kept thy testimonies: for I loue them exceedingly.
168 Kua puritia e ahau au ako me au whakaaturanga: kei tou aroaro hoki oku ara katoa.
