¹A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

¹¶ He hemene, he waiata mo te tainga o te kawa o te whare. Na Rawiri. Ka whakanui ahau i a koe, e Ihowa; nau hoki ahau i hapai ake, a kihai i tukua oku hoariri kia hari ki ahau.

²O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

²E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.

³O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

³E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka.

⁴Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].

⁴Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.

⁵For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [cometh] in the morning.

⁵He iti hoki te wahi e riri ai ia; he oranga ki te manakohia e ia: e tau iho te tangi i te ahiahi, a i te ata he hari.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁶¶ I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.

⁷Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

⁷He manakohanga nau, e Ihowa, i u ai i a koe te tu o toku maunga; i huna e koe tou mata a raru iho ahau.

⁸I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

⁸E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.

⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

⁹He aha te pai o oku toto ina heke ahau ki te poka? Ma te puehu koia koe e whakamoemiti? mana oti e whakapuaki tou pono?

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

¹⁰Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹¹Kua puta ke i a koe taku tangi hei kanikani: kua wewete i toku kakahu taratara, a whitikiria ana ahau e koe ki te koa;

¹²To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

¹²Hei mea e himene ai toku kororia ki a koe, kore ake e wahangu. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe ake ake.
