85:1 ¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene ma nga tama a Koraha. E Ihowa, kua aro mai koe ki tou whenua, kua whakahokia mai e koe a Hakopa i te whakarau.

85:2 Kua murua e koe te kino o tau iwi, kua hipokina e koe o ratou hara katoa (Hera.

85:3 Kua mutu katoa tou weriweri; kua tahuri ke koe i te aritarita o tou riri.

85:4 Whakahokia ake matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga: meinga hoki kia mutu tou riri ki a matou.

85:5 E riri ranei koe ki a matou ake ake? E mauahara tonu ranei, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?

85:6 E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a matou ki te ora: kia hari ai tau iwi ki a koe?

85:7 E Ihowa, whakakitea mai tau mahi tohu ki a matou: tukua mai ki a matou tau whakaoranga.

85:8 ¶ Ka whakarongo ahau ki ta te Atua, ki ta Ihowa, e korero ai: no te mea mo te rongo mau ana korero ki tana iwi, ki tana hunga tapu hoki; kaua ia ratou e hoki ki te wairangi.

85:9 Ina, he tata tonu tana whakaoranga ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, kia noho ai te kororia ki to tatou whenua.

85:10 Kua tutaki te mahi tohu raua ko te pono: kua kihi ki a raua te tika me te rongo mau.

85:11 Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua, a ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.

85:12 Ae, ka homai e Ihowa te pai: a ka tukua mai ona hua e to tatou whenua.
