Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
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 godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
Tiakina toku wairua: he tapu hoki ahau; mau, e toku Atua, e whakaora tau pononga e whakawhirinaki atu nei ki a koe.
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.
Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki: e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te ra roa nei.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Whakaharitia te wairua o tau pononga; ka ara atu nei hoki toku wairua, e te Ariki, ki a koe.
5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.
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 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki taku inoi: whakarongo kitoku reo unene.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.
Ka karanga ahau ki a koe i te ra o toku pouri: e whakahoki kupu mai hoki koe ki ahau.
8 There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.
Kahore he rite mou, e te Ariki, i roto i nga atua: kahore hoki he rite mo au mahi.
9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy 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 Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.
He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i nga mea whakamiharo: ko koe anake te Atua.
11 Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy 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 thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
Ka whakamoemiti katoa toku ngakau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e toku Atua: ka whakakororia ano i tou ingoa ake ake.
13 For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. (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, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee 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 Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
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 turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.
Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: homai tou kaha ki tau pononga, whakaorangia te tama a tau pononga wahine.
17 Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
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.
