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.
