¹[A Psalm] of David. Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

¹¶ Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.

²Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

²Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e whakairia e Ihowa he hara ki a ia, a kahore he hianga i tona wairua.

³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

³I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.

⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah

⁴No tou ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te po; kua whakaputaina ketia toku makukuranga, ano na te maroketanga o te raumati. (Hera.

⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

⁵I whakina e ahau toku hara ki a koe, kihai hoki i huna i toku kino: i mea ahau, Ka whakina aku mahi tutu ki a Ihowa; a murua ana e koe te kino o toku hara. (Hera.

⁶For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

⁶Mo konei ka inoi ki a koe nga tangata tapu katoa i te wa e kitea ai koe: he pono ka ngawha nga wai nui, e kore e tata ki a ia.

⁷Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah

⁷¶ Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera.

⁸I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

⁸Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.

⁹Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [Else] they will not come near unto thee.

⁹Kei rite koutou ki te hoiho, ki te muera ranei, kahore nei he matauranga; he mea kuku nei o raua kauae ki te paraire, ki te moka hei pupuri mai; ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.

¹⁰Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

¹⁰He tini nga mea whakapouri mo te tangata hara: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ka karapotia e te atawhai.

¹¹Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

¹¹Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.
