Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

Na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i te aroaro o nga atua.

2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tou temepara tapu, a ka whakamoemiti ki tou ingoa, mo tou aroha me tou pono: kua whakanuia hoki e koe tau kupu ki runga ake i tou ingoa katoa.

3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te ra i karanga ai ahau: a whakahirihiritia ana e koe toku wairua ki te kaha.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

Ka whakamoemiti nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowa, kua rongo hoki ratou ki nga kupu a tou mangai.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

Ae, e waiata ratou mo nga ara o Ihowa: he nui hoki te kororia o Ihowa.

6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowa, e titiro iho ana ano ia ki te hunga papaku: tena ko te tangata whakakake, i tawhiti ano kua matauria e ia.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te he, mau ahau e whakahauora: ka totoro tou ringa ki te riri o oku hoa whawhai, ma tou ringa matau ano ahau e whakaora.

8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

Ma Ihowa e whakaoti aku mea: e Ihowa, e mau ana tau mahi tohu ake ake; kaua e whakarerea nga mahi a ou ringa.
