Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Listen, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and oppressed.
He inoi na Rawiri. Whakatitahatia iho tou taringa, e Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he ware hoki ahau, he rawakore.
2 Protect me, for I am loyal; my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
Tiakina toku wairua: he tapu hoki ahau; mau, e toku Atua, e whakaora tau pononga e whakawhirinaki atu nei ki a koe.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I cry out to you all day long.
Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki: e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te ra roa nei.
4 Make your servant glad, for to you, Lord, 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 You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and you show great mercy to all those who cry out to you.
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 Yahweh, listen to my prayer; hear the sound of my pleas.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki taku inoi: whakarongo kitoku reo unene.
7 In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will 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 no one who compares to you among the gods, Lord. There are no deeds like your deeds.
Kahore he rite mou, e te Ariki, i roto i nga atua: kahore hoki he rite mo au mahi.
9 All the nations that you have made will come and bow before you, Lord. They will honor your 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 you are great and do wonderful things; you only are God.
He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i nga mea whakamiharo: ko koe anake te Atua.
11 Teach me your ways, Yahweh. Then I will walk in your truth. Unite my heart to reverence you.
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 Lord my God, I will praise you with my whole heart; I will glorify your name forever.
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 your covenant faithfulness toward me; you have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol. (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 God, the arrogant have risen up against me. A gang of violent men seek my life. They have no regard for you.
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 you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
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 Turn toward me and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant; save the son of your servant woman.
Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: homai tou kaha ki tau pononga, whakaorangia te tama a tau pononga wahine.
17 Show me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will see it and be put to shame because you, Yahweh, have 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.
