Psalms 86
1 A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
He inoi na Rawiri. Whakatitahatia iho tou taringa, e Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he ware hoki ahau, he rawakore.
2 Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.
Tiakina toku wairua: he tapu hoki ahau; mau, e toku Atua, e whakaora tau pononga e whakawhirinaki atu nei ki a koe.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.
Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki: e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te ra roa nei.
4 Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.
Whakaharitia te wairua o tau pononga; ka ara atu nei hoki toku wairua, e te Ariki, ki a koe.
5 You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
He pai hoki koe, e te Ariki, he ngawari: e ranea ana hoki tau mahi tohu ki te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki a koe.
6 O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki taku inoi: whakarongo kitoku reo unene.
7 In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.
Ka karanga ahau ki a koe i te ra o toku pouri: e whakahoki kupu mai hoki koe ki ahau.
8 There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.
Kahore he rite mou, e te Ariki, i roto i nga atua: kahore hoki he rite mo au mahi.
9 Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
Ka haere mai nga iwi katoa i hanga e koe, a ka koropiko ki tou aroaro, e te Ariki; ka whakakororia hoki i tou ingoa.
10 For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.
He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i nga mea whakamiharo: ko koe anake te Atua.
11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.
Whakaakona ahau ki tau ara, e Ihowa; ka haere ahau i runga i tou pono: whakatapatahitia toku ngakau ki te wehi i tou ingoa.
12 I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
Ka whakamoemiti katoa toku ngakau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e toku Atua: ka whakakororia ano i tou ingoa ake ake.
13 For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
He nui hoki tau mahi tohu ki ahau: a kua whakaorangia e koe toku wairua i te reinga i raro riro. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.
E te Atua, kua whakatika ki ahau te hunga whakakake: kua whaia ano toku wairua e te huihuinga o te hunga tutu; kahore hoki koe e waiho i to ratou aroaro.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.
Ko koe ia, e te Ariki, he Atua atawhai, he tohu tangata: he puhoi ki te riri, e hua ana te mahi tohu me te pono.
16 O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.
Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: homai tou kaha ki tau pononga, whakaorangia te tama a tau pononga wahine.
17 Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.
Whakakitea mai ki ahau he tohu mo te pai: kia kite ai te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, kia whakama ai: nou e Ihowa i awhina i ahau, i whakamarie i ahau.
