Psalms 141
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.
He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kua tangi nei ahau ki a koe; hohoro mai ki ahau: whakarongo ki toku reo ua karanga ahau ki a koe.
2 My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.
Kia whakatikaia taku inoi ki tou aroaro, hei whakakakara; te toronga atu hoki o oku ringa ano ko te whakahere o te ahiahi.
3 Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.
Homai he kaitiaki mo toku mangai, e Ihowa: tiakina te kuwaha o oku ngutu.
4 Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.
Kaua e whakaangahia toku ngakau ki te mea kino, ki te mahi i nga mahi hianga i roto i nga kaimahi i te kino: kaua ano ahau e kai i a ratou mea papai.
5 The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.
Ma te tangata tika ahau e patu: he mahi aroha tena; mana ahau e riri; he hinu tena ki runga ki te upoko; kaua ia e paopaongia e toku upoko: ahakoa hoki i roto i to ratou kino ka inoi tonu ahau.
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
E turakina ana o ratou kaiwhakawa ki te taha o te kohatu; a ka rongo ratou i aku kupu; he reka hoki.
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
Pera i tetahi e haehae ana, e wawahi ana i te whenua, e titaritaria ana o matou wheua ki te waha o te reinga. (Sheol h7585)
8 But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.
Otiia e tau ana oku kanohi, e Ihowa, e te Ariki, ki a koe: ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga; kaua toku wairua e waiho pani.
9 Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
Tiakina ahau kei mau i nga mahanga i whakatakotoria e ratou moku, i nga rore hoki a nga kaimahi i te kino.
10 The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
Kia taka te hunga kino ki roto ki a ratou kupenga ano: ko ahau ia kia mawhiti.
