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.
1Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.
2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.
4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.
5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6¶ Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;
6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.
8LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.
10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
