Waiata 26
1 Na Rawiri. Whakawakia ahau, e Ihowa, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o toku ngakau: kua whakawhirinaki ano ki a Ihowa, na, e kore e paheke.
Of David - vindicate me O Yahweh for I in integrity my I have walked and in Yahweh I have trusted not I will slip.
2 Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.

3 Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.
For covenant loyalty your [is] to before eyes my and I walk about in faithfulness your.
4 Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.
Not I sit with men of falsehood and with [those who] conceal themselves not I go.
5 Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.

6 Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;
I wash in innocence hands my and I go around altar your O Yahweh.
7 A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
To make heard a sound of thanksgiving and to recount all wonders your.
8 E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.

[those] whom [is] in Hands their wickedness and right [hand] their it is full a bribe.
11 Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.

12 E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
Foot my it has stood on level ground in assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
