1 J udge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

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.

2 P rove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.

3 F or thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;

7 T hat I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.

8 J ehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.

9 G ather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.

10 I n whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.

11 B ut as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.

12 M y foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
