Psalms 40

1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. I tatari marie ahau ki a Ihowa: a anga ana ia ki ahau, whakarongo ana ki taku karanga.

2 And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.

Na kei te tango ake ia i ahau i te poka whakamataku, i te paru taoruoru; kei te whakatu i oku waewae ki runga ki te kohatu, kei te whakau i oku hikoinga.

3 And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.

A homai ana e ia he waiata hou ki toku mangai, he whakamoemiti ki to tatou Atua: he tokomaha e kite, a ka wehi ka whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa.

4 How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.

Ka hari te tangata kua waiho nei e ia a Ihowa hei whakawhirinakitanga mona: a kahore e tahuri ki te hunga whakakake, ki te hunga hoki e peka ana ki te teka.

5 Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.

E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he tini au mahi whakamiharo i mahia e koe, me ou whakaaro ki a matou; e kore e taea te korero whakatepe atu ki a koe: me i mea ahau kia whakakitea, kia korerotia, e kore e taea te tatau.

6 Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.

Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu, me te whakahere; pokaia ana e koe oku taringa: kihai koe i mea mai ki te tahunga tinana, ki te whakahere hara.

7 Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.

Na ko taku meatanga atu, Na kua tae mai ahau: kei roto i te pukapuka te tuhituhi moku.

8 To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.

Ko taku pai ko te mea i tau e pai ai, e toku Atua: ae ra, kei toku ngakau tau ture.

9 I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.

Kua kauwhautia e ahau te tika i roto i te whakaminenga nui: nana, kihai i kopia oku ngutu, tena koe te matau ana, e Ihowa.

10 Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.

Kihai i huna e ahau tou tika i roto i toku ngakau; kua korerotia e ahau tou pono me tau whakaoranga: kihai i hunga e ahau tou aroha me tou pono i te whakaminenga nui.

11 You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.

Kei kaiponuhia tou aroha ki ahau, e Ihowa: ma tou atawhai me tou pono ahau e tiaki i nga wa katoa.

12 For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.

Ta te mea kua karapotia ahau e nga kino e kore e taea te tatau: mau pu ahau i oku kino, te ahei te titiro ake; he tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga: a hemo iho toku ngakau.

13 Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!

Kia pai, e Ihowa, ki te whakaora i ahau; e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.

14 May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.

Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua kia whakamatea: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.

15 May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!

Kia huna, hei utu mo to ratou whakama te hunga e mea mai ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.

16 May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.

Kia hari, kia koa ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia a Ihowa.

17 And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.

Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; heoi e whakaaro ana te Ariki ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e toku Atua.
