Psalm 17
Maori Bible
1He inoi na Rawiri. Whakarongo ki te tika, e Ihowa, tahuri mai ki taku karanga, kia titaha mai tou taringa ki taku inoi, ara ki ta te ngutu tinihangakore.

2Kia puta mai te whakaritenga o taku whakawa i tou aroaro; tirohia mai e ou kanohi te mea rite.

3Kua whakamatauria e koe toku ngakau; kua tirotirohia iho ahau e koe i te po; kua whakamatau koe i ahau, a kahore he mea i kitea e koe; e mea ana ahau kia kaua e hara toku mangai.

4Ko nga mahi ia a te tangata, ko nga kupu a tou mangai taku mea hei pa mai i ahau i nga ara o te kaiwhakangaro.

5I whakaukia oku hikoinga ki au ara, kihai i paheke oku waewae.

6Kua karanga nei ahau ki a koe, no te mea ka whakahoki kupu mai koe, e te Atua, ki ahau: whakatitahatia mai tou taringa ki ahau, whakarongo ki taku kupu.

7Whakaaturia tou aroha whakamiharo, ko koe hoki, ko tou matau, te kaiwhakaora mo te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe, i te hunga e whakatika mai ana.

8Tiakina ahau, ano ko te whatu o te kanohi, huna ahau ki raro i te taumarumarutanga o ou pakau,

9I te hunga kino e tukino nei i ahau, i oku hoariri whakamate e karapoti nei i ahau.

10E kopakia ana ratou e o ratou ngako: e korero whakapehapeha ana o ratou mangai.

11Tenei o matou hikoinga te karapotia nei e ratou: matatau tonu iho o ratou kanohi ki te tuku iho i a matou ki te whenua.

12Kei te raiona e hiahia ana ki te hopu kai te rite, kei te kuao raiona e piri ana i nga wahi ngaro.

13E ara, e Ihowa, haukotia tona aroaro, turakina ia ki raro; whakaorangia toku wairua ki tau hoari i te tangata kino;

14I nga tangata, ma tou ringa, e Ihowa, i nga tangata o te ao: kei tenei ora nei to ratou wahi, a e whakakiia ana o ratou kopu e koe ki tau taonga. E kiki ana ratou i te tamariki, whakarerea iho nga toenga o a ratou taonga ki a ratou kohungahunga.

15Ko ahau, e kite ahau i tou mata i runga i te tika, a ka tatu toku ngakau, ina oho ake ahau, kia kite i tou ahua.
