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. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

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

He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

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

He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

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.

In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

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.

He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
