Waiata 15

1 He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko wai e noho ki tou tapenakara? Ko wai e noho ki tou maunga tapu?

A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

2 Ko ia he tapatahi nei te haere, he tika te mahi, he korero pono ano i roto i tona ngakau.

He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

3 Kahore nei e ngautuara tona arero, kahore e kino te mahi ki tona hoa, kahore ana ingoa kino mo tona hoa.

who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

4 E whakahengia ana te tangata kino e ona kanohi, e whakahonoretia ana ia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa. Ahakoa mate i tana oati, kahore e whakapaheketia e ia.

who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

5 Kahore e tuku i tana moni hei moni whakatupu; kahore hoki e tango i te moni hei utu mate mo te tangata harakore. Ki te penei te mahi a tetahi, e kore ia e whakakorikoria ake ake.

who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
