Psalms 30
1 A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
He hemene, he waiata mo te tainga o te kawa o te whare. Na Rawiri. Ka whakanui ahau i a koe, e Ihowa; nau hoki ahau i hapai ake, a kihai i tukua oku hoariri kia hari ki ahau.
2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.
3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.
5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
He iti hoki te wahi e riri ai ia; he oranga ki te manakohia e ia: e tau iho te tangi i te ahiahi, a i te ata he hari.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.
7 You, LORD, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
He manakohanga nau, e Ihowa, i u ai i a koe te tu o toku maunga; i huna e koe tou mata a raru iho ahau.
8 I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication to the Lord:
E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.
9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
He aha te pai o oku toto ina heke ahau ki te poka? Ma te puehu koia koe e whakamoemiti? mana oti e whakapuaki tou pono?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Kua puta ke i a koe taku tangi hei kanikani: kua wewete i toku kakahu taratara, a whitikiria ana ahau e koe ki te koa;
12 to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Hei mea e himene ai toku kororia ki a koe, kore ake e wahangu. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe ake ake.
