1 B lessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

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

2 B lessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

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

3 W hen I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

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

4 F or day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

No 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.

5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I 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.

6 F or this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

Mo 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.

7 T hou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

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

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

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

9 B e ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Kei 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.

10 M any sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

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

11 B e glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

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