1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kua tirotirohia ahau e koe, kua mohiotia ano e koe.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, pea kuo ke ʻiloʻi au.
2 E matau ana koe ki toku nohoanga iho, ki toku whakatikanga ake; e mohio ana koe ki oku whakaaro i tawhiti.
‌ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku nofo hifo mo ʻeku tuʻu hake, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
3 E kitea putia ana e koe toku ara me toku takotoranga iho; e matatau ana hoki koe ki oku ara katoa.
‌ʻOku ke ʻāʻi hoku hala mo hoku tokotoʻanga, pea ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi hoku hala kotoa pē.
4 Kahore rawa hoki he kupu i toku arero, i toe i a koe te mohio, e Ihowa.
He ʻoku ʻikai ha lea ʻi hoku ʻelelo, ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi kotoa pē.
5 Kua hanga a muri, a mua, oku e koe: kua pa ano tou ringa ki ahau.
Naʻa ke kāpui au ʻi hoku tuʻa mo hoku ʻao, ʻo ke hilifaki ho nima kiate au.
6 He mea whakamiharo rawa, kei tawhiti atu hoki i ahau, tenei matauranga: kei runga noa atu, e kore e taea e ahau.
Ko e ʻilo pehē ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au; ʻoku māʻolunga ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lavaʻi ia.
7 Me haere ahau ki hea i tou wairua? Me oma ranei ahau ki hea i tou aroaro?
Te u ʻalu ki fē mei ho Laumālie? Pe te u hola ki fē mei ho ʻao?
8 Ki te kake ahau ki te rangi, kei reira koe: ki te wharikitia e ahau toku moenga i roto i te reinga, kei reira ano koe. (Sheol h7585)
Kapau te u ʻalu hake ki he loto langi, ʻoku ke ʻi ai: kapau te u ngaohi hoku mohenga ʻi heli, vakai, ʻoku ke ʻi ai. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ki te tango ahau ki nga pakau o te ata, a ka noho ki nga topito o te moana;
Kapau te u toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe tahi;
10 Kei reira ano tou ringa hei arahi i ahau, tou matau hei pupuru i ahau.
‌ʻE tataki foki au ʻe ho nima ʻi ai, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne puke au.
11 Ki te mea ahau, He pono, tera ahau e hipokina e te pouri, a ko te marama i tetahi taha oku, i tetahi taha, ka meinga he po;
Kapau te u pehē, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻufiʻufi au ʻe he poʻuli; ʻe hoko ʻae pō foki ko e maama ʻo takatakai ʻiate au.
12 Ahakoa te pouri kahore e huna mai i a koe, engari ka marama te po ano ko te ao: ki a koe rite tahi te pouri me te marama.
‌ʻIo, ʻoku ʻikai fakafufū meiate koe ʻe he poʻuli, ka ʻoku malama ʻae pō ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho: ko e poʻuli mo e maama ʻoku na tatau pe kiate koe.
13 I a koe hoki oku whatumanawa: nau hoki ahau i hipoki i roto i te kopu o toku whaea.
He kuo ke maʻu hoku kongaloto: naʻa ke ʻufiʻufi au ʻi he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
14 Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe; he mea whakawehi, he mea whakamiharo toku hanganga; he mahi whakamiharo au mahi, mohio rawa ano toku wairua ki tena.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe; he ʻoku fakamanavahē mo fakaofo hoku ngaohi: ʻoku fakaofo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue; pea ʻoku ʻilo pau ki ai ʻe hoku laumālie.
15 Kihai i huna oku wahi i a koe, i ahau e hanga ngarotia ana, e ata whakairohia ana i nga wahi hohonu rawa o te whenua.
Naʻe ʻikai fufū ʻa hoku sino meiate koe, ʻi he ngaohi au ʻi he lilo, mo teuteu lelei au ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻoe fonua.
16 I kite ou kanohi i ahau, kahore ano kia ahua noa: i tuhituhia katoatia ano hoki oku wahi ki tau pukapuka, i nga rangi i whakaahua ai, i te mea kahore ano tetahi i oti noa.
Naʻe ʻafio ho fofonga ki hoku sino ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻosi; pea naʻe tohi ʻi hoʻo tohi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu fakaholo, ʻi he teʻeki ai ha kupu ʻe taha.
17 Kia pehea mai hoki te matenui o ou whakaaro ki ahau, e te Atua; koia ano te ranea, ina huihuia!
‌ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau kiate au! ʻOku fēfē nai hono lahi ʻo ia!
18 Ki te taua e ahau, maha atu i te onepu: ka oho ake ahau, kei a koe tonu ahau.
Kapau te u lau ia, ʻoku lahi hake hono lau ʻi he ʻoneʻone: ʻo kau ka ʻā hake ʻoku ou kei ʻiate koe.
19 He pono ka patua e koe, e te Atua, te tangata kino: mawehe koia atu i ahau, e nga tangata toto.
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko e moʻoni te ke tāmateʻi ʻae angahala: ko ia mou ʻalu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata pani toto.
20 He kino hoki a ratou kupu mou: e whakahua noa ana ou hoariri i tou ingoa.
He ʻoku nau lea kovi ʻi he angatuʻu kiate koe, pea ko ho ngaahi fili ʻoku nau takuanoa [ho huafa].
21 Kahore ianei ahau, e Ihowa, e kino ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koe? e whakarihariha hoki ki te hunga e whakatika ana ki a koe?
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate koe? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ou mamahi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe?
22 He tino kino taku kino ki a ratou: waiho iho ratou e ahau hei hoariri moku.
‌ʻOku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae fehiʻa ʻaupito: ʻoku ou lau ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili.
23 Tirohia iho ahau, e te Atua, kia matau hoki koe ki toku ngakau: whakamatautauria ahau, kia matau hoki koe ki oku whakaaro:
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻafioʻi au, pea ke ʻiloʻi hoku loto: ʻahiʻahiʻi au, mo ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo:
24 Kia kite mehemea kei ahau tetahi ara o te kino, ka arahi ai i ahau i te ara pumau.
Pea ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha hala kovi ʻiate au, pea ke tataki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.
