Psalms 30
1 A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
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.
2 Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.
3 Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death. (Sheol h7585)
E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka. (Sheol h7585)
4 You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.
5 For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
He 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.
6 When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.
7 Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
He 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.
8 I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.
9 What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
He 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?
10 Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.
11 You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,
Kua puta ke i a koe taku tangi hei kanikani: kua wewete i toku kakahu taratara, a whitikiria ana ahau e koe ki te koa;
12 so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
Hei 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.
