Psalms, Chapter 28

1. Na Rawiri. Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, e toku kohatu, kaua e wahangu ki ahau; ki te wahangu hoki koe ki ahau, ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.    2. Whakarongo ki toku reo inoi, ua karanga ahau ki a koe, ina totoro oku ringa ki tou ahurewa tapu.    3. Kaua ahau e kumea tahitia me te hunga he; me nga kaimahi i te kino, he marie a ratou kupu ki o ratou hoa, he kino ia kei roto i o ratou ngakau.    4. Kia rite ki a ratou mahi tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, ki te kino ano o a ratou hanga: kia rite ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, whakahokia ta ratou utu ki a ratou.    5. Na kahore nei ratou e whakaaro ki nga mahi a Ihowa, ki nga meatanga a ona ringa, mo reira ka whakahoroa iho ratou e ia, e kore ano e whakaturia ake.    6. Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa mona i whakarongo mai ki toku reo inoi.    7. Ko Ihowa toku kaha, toku whakangungu rakau; i whakawhirinaki toku ngakau ki a ia, a awhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai toku ngakau, i whakamoemiti ai hoki taku waiata ki a ia.    8. Ko Ihowa to ratou kaha, ko ia ano te kaha whakaora o tana tangata i whakawahi ai.    9. Whakaorangia tau iwi, manaakitia tou kainga tupu: whangainga ratou, whakaarahia ake ake.
