Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Ka hari te hunga he tapatahi nei i te ara, e haere nei i te ture a Ihowa.
2 Blessed are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart.
Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki ana whakaaturanga; e whakapaua ana o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a ia.
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
Ae, e kore ratou e mahi i te kino; e haere ana ratou i ana ara.
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
Kua oti matou te whakahau ki au akoranga, kia ata puritia e matou.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes.
Aue, me i whakatikaia toku ara ki te pupuri i au akoranga!
6 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
Ko reira ahau ka kore ai e whakama: i ahau ka whai whakaaro nei ki au whakahau katoa.
7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.
Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te ngakau tika, ina ako ahau i au whakaritenga tika.
8 I will observe your statutes. Do not utterly forsake me.
Ka puritia e ahau au tikanga: kaua ahau e whakarerea rawatia.
9 BET. How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
He aha te mea e ma ai i te taitamariki tona ara? kia rite ki tau kupu tana whakamaharatanga iho.
10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me wander from your commandments.
Kua whakapaua e ahau toku ngakau ki te rapu i a koe: kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti ke i au whakahau.
11 In my heart I have hidden your word, that I might not sin against you.
Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tau kupu ki roto ki toku ngakau, kei hara ahau ki a koe.
12 Blessed are you, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
E Ihowa, ka whakapaingia koe: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
Kua whakapuakina e oku ngutu nga whakaritenga katoa a tou mangai.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Ko toku koa i te ara o au whakaaturanga, me te mea mo nga taonga katoa.
15 I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.
Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki au ako, a ka whai mahara ki au huarahi.
16 I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.
He oranga ngakau ki ahau au tikanga: e kore ahau e wareware ki tau kupu.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.
Kia atawhai ki tau pononga, kia ora ai ahau; kia puritia ai hoki tau kupu.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your Law.
Whakatirohia oku kanohi kia kite ai ahau i nga mea whakamiharo i roto i tau ture.
19 I am a stranger on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.
He manene ahau i runga i te whenua: kaua au whakahau e huna ki ahau.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
Ka ngawha toku wairua i te matenui atu ki au whakaritenga i nga wa katoa.
21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.
Kua riria e koe te hunga whakakake kua oti nei te kanga, e kotiti ke nei i au whakahau.
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.
Parea atu i ahau te tawai me te whakahawea: kua mau hoki ahau ki au whakaaturanga.
23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
I noho ano hoki nga rangatira ki te korero kino moku: otira e whakaaro ana tau pononga ki au tikanga.
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Ko au whakaaturanga ano toku oranga ngakau, oku hoa whakatakoto whakaaro.
25 DALET. My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word.
Piri tonu toku wairua ki te puehu; whakahauoratia ahau kia rite ki atu kupu.
26 I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.
I whakaaturia e ahau oku ara, a whakahoki kupu ana koe ki ahau: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts. Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.
Meinga ahau kia matau ki te ara o au ako: kia whakaaroaro ai ahau ki au mahi whakamiharo.
28 My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your word.
E maturuturu iho ana toku wairua i te pouri: kia rite ki tau kapu tau whakau ake i ahau.
29 Keep me from the way of deceit. Grant me your Law graciously.
Whakamataratia atu i ahau te ara o te teka: kia atawhai mai hoki, a homai tau ture.
30 I have chosen the way of truth. I have set your ordinances before me.
Kua whiriwhiria e ahau te ara o te pono: ka waiho e ahau au whakaritenga ki toku aroaro.
31 I cling to your statutes, LORD. Do not let me be put to shame.
Piri tonu ahau ki au whakaaturanga: e Ihowa, kei whakama ahau.
32 I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free.
Ka oma ahau i te ara o au whakahau, ina whakanuia e koe toku ngakau.
33 HEY Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.
E Ihowa, whakaakona ahau ki te ara o au tikanga: a ka mau i ahau taea noatia te mutunga.
34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your Law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
Homai he matauranga ki ahau, a ka mau i ahau tau ture; ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri.
35 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.
Meinga ahau kia haere i te ara o au whakahau; ko taku hoki tena e whakaahuareka nei.
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.
Whakaangahia toku ngakau ki au whakaaturanga; kaua hoki ki te apo.
37 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.
Whakatahuritia ketia oku kanohi kei kite i te horihori: whakahauorangia ahau i tau ara.
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.
Whakapumautia tau kupu ki tau pononga, e wehi nei ki a koe.
39 Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.
Parea atu toku tawainga, e wehi nei ahau: he pai hoki au whakaritenga.
40 Look, I long for your precepts. Revive me in your righteousness.
Nana, kua matenui ahau ki au ako: whakahauorangia ahau i runga i tou tika.
41 WAW. Let your loving kindness also come to me, LORD, your salvation, according to your word.
Kia puta ano au mahi tohu ki ahau, e Ihowa: ara tau whakaoranga, kia rite ki tau kupu.
42 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.
Penei ka whai kupu maku ki toku kaitawai; noku ka whakawhirinaki ki tau kupu.
43 Do not snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.
Kaua e tangohia rawatia i toku mangai te kupu o te pono: e tumanako nei hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
44 So I will obey your Law continually, forever and ever.
Penei ka puritia e ahau tau ture ake ake.
45 I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.
A ka haereere noa ahau; kua rapua hoki e ahau au akoranga.
46 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be ashamed.
Ka korerotia ano e ahau au whakaaturanga ki te aroaro o nga kingi, e kore ano e whakama.
47 I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.
A ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngakau moku au whakahau e aroha nei ahau.
48 I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.
Ka toro atu hoki oku ringa ki au whakahau e aroha nei ahau, ka whakaaroaro ano ki au tikanga.
49 ZAYIN. Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.
Maharatia te kupu ki tau pononga, no te mea kua meinga ahau e koe kia tumanako atu.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
Ko toku oranga ngakau tenei i ahau e tangi nei: na tau kupu nei hoki ahau i whakahauora.
51 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I do not swerve from your Law.
Nui rawa te whakahi ki ahau o te hunga whakakake: heoi kihai ahau i peka ke i tau ture.
52 I remember your ordinances of old, LORD, and have comforted myself.
I mahara ahau ki au whakaritenga, e Ihowa, o tua iho; a marie ana toku ngakau.
53 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your Law.
Mau pu ahau i te pawera, mo te hunga kino kua whakarere nei i tau ture.
54 Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.
Ko au tikanga aku e himene ai i te whare i noho manene ai ahau.
55 I have remembered your name, LORD, in the night, and I obey your Law.
I mahara ahau ki tou ingoa i te po, e Ihowa: a puritia ana e ahau tau ture.
56 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
I ahau tenei, he mau noku ki au ako.
57 HET. The LORD is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
Ko Ihowa toku wahi: kua mea nei ahau, ka pupuri ahau i au kupu.
58 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.
I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te inoi ki a koe kia pai mai: kia rite ki tau kupu tau mahi tohu ki ahau.
59 I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.
I whakaaro ahau ki oku ara: a anga ana oku waewae ki au whakaaturanga.
60 I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.
I hohoro ahau, a kihai i whakaroa ki te pupuri i au whakahau.
61 The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won't forget your Law.
Karapotia putia ana ahau e nga here a te hunga kino: kihai ia ahau i wareware ki tau ture.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.
I waenganui po ka ara ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe mo au whakaritenga tika.
63 I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.
He hoa ahau no te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a koe; no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i au ako.
64 The earth is full of your loving kindness, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
Ki tonu, e Ihowa, te whenua i tau mahi tohu: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
65 TET. Do good to your servant, according to your word, LORD.
Pai rawa tau hanga ki tau pononga, e Ihowa; rite tonu ki tau kupu.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.
Whakaakona ahau ki te ngarahu pai, ki te matauranga: kua whakapono hoki ahau ki au whakahau.
67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.
I ahau kiano i whakawhiua, i he ahau: tena ko tenei ka puritia e ahau tau kupu.
68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.
He pai koe, he pai hoki au mahi: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.
Kua titoa e te hunga whakakake he teka moku: ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri i au ako.
70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your Law.
He ngako rawa to ratou ngakau, koia ano kei te taupa: ko ahau ia, he oranga ngakau ki ahau tau ture.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
Marie ano ahau kia pehia e te pouri; i ako ai ahau i au tikanga.
72 The Law you have spoken is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Ko te ture a tou mangai pai ke atu ki ahau i nga mano o te koura, o te hiriwa.
73 YOD Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Na ou ringa ahau i hanga, i whakawhaiahua: homai he matauranga ki ahau, kia ako ai ahau ki au whakahau.
74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.
Ka hari te hunga e wehi ana i a koe ina kite i ahau: noku i tumanako ki tau kupu.
75 LORD, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have humbled me.
E matau ana ahau, e Ihowa, he tika au whakaritenga; a he pono nou i pehia ai toku ngakau e koe.
76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.
Tena ra, waiho tau mahi tohu hei whakamarie moku; kia rite ki tau kupu ki tau pononga.
77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your Law is my delight.
Kia puta ki ahau au mahi aroha, kia ora ai ahau; ko tau ture hoki toku oranga ngakau.
78 Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
Kia whakama te hunga whakakake; no te mea kahore he take i he ai ta ratou hanga ki ahau; ko ahau ia ka whakaaroaro ki au akoranga.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.
Ko te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe me anga ki ahau, a ka mohio ratou ki au whakaaturanga.
80 Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be put to shame.
Kia tapatahi toku ngakau ki au tikanga; kei whakama ahau.
81 KAPH. My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
E matenui ana toku wairua ki tau whakaoranga: otiia ka tumanako ahau ki tau kupu.
82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"
Matawaia ana oku kanohi, he meatanga ki tau kupu, i ahau e mea ana, Ahea koe whakamarie ai i ahau?
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I do not forget your statutes.
Kua rite nei hoki ahau ki te koki i roto i te paoa: he ahakoa e kore ahau e wareware ki au tikanga.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
E hia nga ra o tau pononga? a hea koe whakarite whakawa ai mo te hunga e tukino nei i ahau?
85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Law.
Kua keri poka te hunga whakakake moku; he mea kahore e rite ki tau ture.
86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me.
Pono tonu au whakahau katoa: e tukino takekore ana ratou i ahau; awhinatia mai ahau.
87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I did not forsake your precepts.
Wahi iti kua moti ahau i a ratou i runga i te whenua: otira kihai i mahue i ahau au akoranga.
88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
Kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakahauora i ahau: a ka puritia e ahau nga whakaaturanga a tou mangai.
89 LAMED. LORD, your word is settled in heaven forever.
Pumau tonu tau kupu, e Ihowa, ake ake i runga i te rangi.
90 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
Kei nga whakatupuranga katoa tou pono: whakaungia ana e koe te whenua, a e tu nei ano.
91 Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.
E tu nei ano inaianei, pera tonu me tau i whakarite ai, he pononga hoki nga mea katoa nau.
92 Unless your Law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
Me kaua tau ture hei oranga mo toku ngakau, kua ngaro ahau i reira i toku auetanga.
93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
E kore rawa ahau e wareware ki au ako, he mea whakahauora hoki nau ena i ahau.
94 I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
Nau ahau, mau ahau e whakaora: kua rapua hoki e ahau au ako.
95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.
Kua tatari te hunga kino ki ahau kia whakamatea: ka whakaaro ia ahau ki au whakaaturanga.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless.
Kua kitea e ahau te mutunga o nga mea tino tika katoa: he whanui rawa ia tau whakahau.
97 MEM. How I love your Law. It is my meditation all day.
Ano toku aroha ki tau ture! Ko taku tena e whakaaroaro ai i te roa o te ra.
98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your commandments are always with me.
Nau i hira ake ai oku whakaaro i o oku hoariri, na au whakahau, e piri tonu nei ki ahau.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my (meditation)
Nui atu oku mahara i o oku kaiwhakaako katoa: noku i whakaaroaro tonu ki au whakaaturanga.
100 I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.
Tera atu toku mohio i to nga kaumatua, no te mea i pupuri ahau i au ako.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.
Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau oku waewae i nga ara kino katoa, kia pupuri ai ahau i tau kupu.
102 I have not turned aside from your ordinances, for you have taught me.
Kihai ahau i titaha i au whakaritenga; nau hoki ahau i ako.
103 How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth.
Ano te reka o au kupu ki toku ngao; ae ra, reka atu i te honi ki toku mangai.
104 Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Na au ako ahau i whai mohio ai: na reira ahau i kino ai ki nga ara teka katoa.
105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
He rama tau kupu ki oku waewae, he marama ki toku ara.
106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.
Kua oati ahau, a ka whakamana ano e ahau: kia puritia e ahau au whakaritenga tika.
107 I am afflicted very much. Revive me, LORD, according to your word.
He nui te mamae o toku ngakau: whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau kupu.
108 Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, LORD, and teach me your ordinances.
Manakohia, e Ihowa, nga ohaohatanga a toku mangai, whakaakona hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
109 My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won't forget your Law.
Kei toku ringa tonu toku wairua, heoi kahore ahau e wareware ki tau ture.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts.
Kua whakatakotoria e te hunga kino he mahanga moku: heoi kahore ahau i peka ke i au ako.
111 I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
Ka waiho e ahau au whakaaturanga hei kainga tupu moku ake ake: ko toku koanga ngakau hoki ena.
112 I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even to the end.
Kua whakaanga e ahau toku ngakau ki te mahi tonu i au tikanga: a te mutunga ra ano.
113 SAMEKH. I hate double-minded men, but I love your Law.
E kino ana ahau ki te hunga whakaaro ruarua; ko tau ture ia taku e aroha ai.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.
Ko toku piringa koe, ko toku whakangungu rakau: e tumanako ana ahau ki tau kupu.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga kino; ka whakaritea hoki e ahau nga whakahau a toku Atua.
116 Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Kia rite ki tau kupu tau tautoko ake i ahau, kia ora ai ahau: kaua hoki ahau e tukua kia whakama ki taku e tumanako atu nei.
117 Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually.
Tautokona ake ahau, kia ora ai ahau, a ka whai whakaaro tonu ahau ki au tikanga.
118 You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is in vain.
Kua whakahaweatia e koe te hunga katoa e kotiti ke ana i au tikanga; he horihori hoki to ratou tinihanga.
119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love your testimonies.
Ka whakakahoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ano he para mata: koia ahau i aroha ai ki au whakaaturanga.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.
Wiri ana oku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe; e mataku ana hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
121 AYIN. I have done what is just and righteous. Do not leave me to my oppressors.
He whakawa tika, he tika taku mahi: kaua ahau e tukua ki oku kaitukino.
122 Ensure your servant's well-being. Do not let the proud oppress me.
Ko koe hei tuara mo tau pononga mo te pai: kei tukinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake.
123 My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous word.
Matawaia ana oku kanohi i te meatanga ki tau whakaora, ki te kupu hoki o tau tika.
124 Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness. Teach me your statutes.
Kia rite ki tou aroha tau mahi ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.
125 I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
He pononga ahau nau; homai he mahara ki ahau, kia matau ai ki au whakaaturanga.
126 It is time to act, LORD, for they break your Law.
Kua rite te wa hei mahinga ma Ihowa; kua whakakahoretia hoki e ratou tau ture.
127 Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.
Na reira i arohaina rawatia ai e ahau au whakahau i te koura, ae, i te tino koura.
128 Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.
Na reira tika tonu ki ahau au ako katoa mo nga mea katoa: kino iho ano ahau ki nga ara teka katoa.
129 PEY. Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them.
He mea whakamiharo au whakaaturanga: i mau ai toku wairua ki reira.
130 The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.
Ko te whakapuakanga o au kupu he homai marama; na reira i homai he mahara ki nga kuware.
131 I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments.
I hamama toku mangai, i kihakiha: he matenui noku ki au whakahau.
132 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.
Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: kia rite ki tau hanga ki te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.
133 Establish my footsteps in your word. Do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.
Whakatikaia oku hikoinga ki runga i tau kupu: kaua hoki tetahi he e tukua hei rangatira moku.
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your precepts.
Whakaorangia ahau i te tukino a te tangata: a ka puritia e ahau au ako.
135 Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your statutes.
Kia marama mai tou mata ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.
136 Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they do not observe your Law.
Heke noa nga awa wai o oku kanohi; mo ratou kahore i pupuri i tau ture.
137 TZADE. You are righteous, LORD. Your judgments are upright.
He tika koe, e Ihowa, he tika ano au whakaritenga.
138 You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.
He tika, he pono rawa au whakaaturanga i whakahaua mai e koe.
139 My zeal wears me out, because my enemies ignore your words.
Ka ngaro ahau i toku ngakau whakapuke, mo au kupu ka wareware nei i oku hoariri.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
Hore rawa he para o tau kupu: koia i arohaina ai e tau pononga.
141 I am small and despised. I do not forget your precepts.
He iti ahau, e whakahaweatia ana: heoi kahore ahau e wareware ki au ako.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your Law is truth.
He tika pumau tonu tou tika; he pono hoki tau ture.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight.
Kua pa mai ki ahau te pouri me te mamae: ko au whakahau ia toku oranga ngakau.
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
Pumau tonu te tika o au whakaaturanga: homai he mahara ki ahau, a ka ora ahau.
145 QOPH. I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, LORD. I will keep your statutes.
I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te karanga; whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowa; ka mau i ahau au tikanga.
146 I have called to you. Save me. I will obey your statutes.
I karanga ahau ki a koe: whakaorangia ahau, a ka puritia e ahau au whakaaturanga.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.
Kiano te ata i puao noa, kua karanga ahau: i tumanako ahau ki au kupu.
148 My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.
I hohoro oku kanohi i nga mataaratanga ki te whakaaroaro ki tau kupu.
149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, LORD, according to your ordinances.
Whakarongo ki toku reo, kia rite ki tou aroha: kia rite, e Ihowa, ki tau i whakarite ai tau whakahauora i ahau.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your Law.
E whakatata mai ana te hunga e whai ana i te whanoke: kei tawhiti atu ratou i tau ture.
151 You are near, LORD. All your commandments are truth.
E tata ana mai koe, e Ihowa: he pono katoa au whakahau.
152 Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have founded them forever.
Nonamata ahau i matau ai ki au whakaaturanga, he mea whakapumau nau no tua whakarere.
153 RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I do not forget your Law.
Whakaaro mai ki toku mate, a whakaorangia ahau: kahore hoki ahau e wareware ki tau ture.
154 Plead my cause, and redeem me. Revive me according to your promise.
Tohea taku tohe, whakaorangia hoki ahau: kia rite ki tau kupu tau whakahauoranga i ahau.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes.
Kei tawhiti atu i te hunga kino te whakaoranga: kahore hoki ratou e rapu ki au tikanga.
156 Great are your tender mercies, LORD. Revive me according to your ordinances.

Kia ora toku wairua, a ka whakamoemiti ia ki a koe: kia awhinatia hoki ahau e au whakaritenga.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
Kua kotiti ke ahau me he hipi ngaro: rapua tau pononga, kahore hoki ahau e wareware ki au whakahau.
