1For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshanim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.
1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
2Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
3I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
3Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.
4Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.
5E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
6Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
6E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.
7Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.
8He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
9For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.
9Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
10When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.
10I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.
11I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
12They that sit in the gate talk of me; And [I am] the song of the drunkards.
12Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
13¶ Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
14Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
15Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
15Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
16Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
16E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.
17A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.
18Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.
19E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.
20Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
21They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
21I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
22Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [let it become] a trap.
22¶ Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.
23Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
24Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
24Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
25Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.
25Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
26Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
27Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.
27Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
28Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.
28Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
29But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
29Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
30I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
30¶ Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
31And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, [Or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
31Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
32The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.
32Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
33For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.
33No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
34Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.
34Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
35For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
35No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
36A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
