1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
1¶ He himene na Rawiri. Ka waiatatia e ahau te mahi tohu me te whakawa tika: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
2Ka ata whakahaere ahau i ahau i runga i te ara tika. A hea koe haere mai ai ki ahau? Ka haereere ahau i roto i toku whare i runga i te ngakau tapatahi.
3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
3E kore te mea tutua e waiho e ahau i mua i oku kanohi; e kino ana ahau ki te mahi a te hunga peka ke: e kore e piri ki ahau.
4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
4Ka mawehe atu i ahau te ngakau parori ke: e kore ahau e mohio ki te mea kino.
5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
5Ko te tangata e ngautuara puku ana ki tona hoa ka whakangaromia e ahau: e kore ahau e aro ki te tangata kanohi whakakake, ki te tangata ngakau whakapakari.
6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
6Kei runga i nga mea pono o te whenua oku kanohi, kia noho ai ratou ki ahau: ko te tangata e haere ana i te ara tika, ka mahi tena ki ahau.
7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
7E kore e noho ki toku whare te kaimahi i te hianga: e kore e tu ki toku aroaro te tangata korero teka.
8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
8I tenei ata, i tenei ata, ka whakangaromia e ahau nga tangata kikino katoa o te whenua: kia hatepea atu ai i te pa o te Atua te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino.
