| Chapter 116 |
1 | ¶ E aroha ana ahau ki a Ihowa: mona i whakarongo ki toku reo, ki aku inoi. |
2 | I tahuri mai tona taringa ki ahau: mo reira ka karanga ahau ki a ia i ahau e ora ana. |
3 | I karapotia ahau e nga whakawiringa a te mate: mau pu ahau i nga mamae o te reinga, i kite ahau i te pawera, i te pouri. |
4 | Na ko taku karangatanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa; Tena ra, e Ihowa, whakaorangia toku wairua. |
5 | He atawhai a Ihowa, he tika: ae, he aroha to tatou Atua. |
6 | E tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga kuware: i whakaititia ahau, a nana ahau i whakaora. |
7 | E hoki, e toku wairua, ki tou okiokinga; kua atawhaitia hoki koe e Ihowa. |
8 | Nau hoki toku wairua i whakaora kei mate, oku kanohi kei whai roimata, oku waewae kei paheke. |
9 | Tera ahau e haereere i te aroaro o Ihowa i te whenua o te ora. |
10 | ¶ I whakapono ahau, koia ahau i korero ai: he nui toku whakawhiunga. |
11 | I mea ahau i toku ohoreretanga, He teka kau nga tangata katoa. |
12 | He aha taku e whakahoki ai ki a Ihowa mo ana atawhainga katoa i ahau? |
13 | Ka mau ahau ki te kapu o te whakaoranga, ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa. |
14 | Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o tana iwi katoa. |
15 | He mea utu nui ki ta Ihowa titiro te matenga o tana hunga tapu. |
16 | E Ihowa, he pono ko ahau tau pononga; ko ahau tau pononga, ko te tama a tau pononga wahine; nau i wewete oku here. |
17 | Ka tukua e ahau te patunga tapu, ara te whakawhetai: ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa. |
18 | Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ae, ki te aroaro o tana iwi katoa. |
19 | Ki nga marae o te whare o Ihowa, ki waenganui ou, e Hiruharama. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. |
