Psalms 142

1 “A psalm of David; a prayer, when he was in the cave” I cry unto the LORD with my voice; With my voice to the LORD do I make my supplication.

He Makiri na Rawiri; he inoi i a ia i roto i te ana. He karanga ta toku reo ki a Ihowa; he inoi ta toku reo ki a Ihowa.

2 I pour out my complaint before him; I declare before him my distress.

Horahia ana taku inoi ki tona aroaro; whakaaturia ana e ahau toku mate ki tona aroaro.

3 When my spirit is overwhelmed within me, Thou knowest my path! In the way which I walk, they have hid a snare for me.

I te ngaromanga o toku wairua i roto i ahau i matau koe ki toku ara: kua whakatakotoria pukutia e ratou te mahanga moku i te ara i haere ai ahau.

4 I look on my right hand, and behold, But no man knoweth me; Refuge faileth me; No one careth for me.

Titiro ki toku taha matau, kia kite; kahore hoki tetahi tangata e mohio ana ki ahau; kahore he piringa moku; kahore tetahi e mahara ana ki toku wairua.

5 I cry unto thee, O LORD! I say, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku piringa, toku wahi i te whenua o te hunga ora.

6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they prevail against me!

Tahuri mai ki taku karanga: kua whakaititia rawatia hoki ahau: whakaorangia ahau i oku kaitukino: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.

7 Bring me out of prison, That I may praise thy name! The righteous shall gather around me, When thou shalt show me thy favor.

Whakaputaina toku wairua i te herehere, kia whakamoemiti ai ahau ki tou ingoa: ka karapotia ahau e te hunga tika; nou ka atawhai nei i ahau.
