Psalms 86
1 A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
He inoi na Rawiri. Whakatitahatia iho tou taringa, e Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he ware hoki ahau, he rawakore.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, 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 call to you all day long.
Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki: e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te ra roa nei.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do 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 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on 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 Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki taku inoi: whakarongo kitoku reo unene.
7 In the day of my trouble I will 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 like you amongst the gods, Lord, nor any 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 nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify 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 wondrous things. You are God alone.
He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i nga mea whakamiharo: ko koe anake te Atua.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
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 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
Ka whakamoemiti katoa toku ngakau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e toku Atua: ka whakakororia ano i tou ingoa ake ake.
13 For your loving kindness is great towards me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest 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 proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
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 loving kindness and truth.
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 to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
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 goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, 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.
