Psaumes 26

Sonde-moi, Seigneur

Nā Rāwiri. Whakawākia ahau, e Ihowā, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o tōku ngākau; kua whakawhirinaki anō ki a Ihowā, nā, e kore e paheke. ²Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowā, whakamātauria ahau, kia kitea ōku whatumanawa me tōku ngākau. ³Kei mua hoki tōu atawhai i ōku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tōu pono.

⁴Kāhore ahau i noho tahi ki ngā tāngata horihori; e kore anō ahau e tomo tahi me ngā tāngata tinihanga. ⁵Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o ngā kaimahi i te hē, e kore anō ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino. ⁶Ka horoia e ahau ōku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiāwhio ai i tāu āta, e Ihowā; ⁷ā, ka rangona tōku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i āu mahi whakamīharo katoa.

⁸E Ihowā, kua aroha nei ahau ki tōu whare nohoanga, ki te wāhi e nohoia ana e tōu korōria. ⁹Kei huia tōku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me tōku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto. ¹⁰He mahi nanakia hoki tā ō rātou ringa; kī tonu ō rātou matau i te utu whakapati.

¹¹Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i tōku tapatahi; hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau. ¹²E tū ana tōku waewae i te wāhi tika; ka whakapaingia a Ihowā e ahau i roto i ngā whakaminenga.
