Waiata 30
1 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.
A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2 E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.
O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
3 E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka. (Sheol h7585)
O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. (Sheol h7585)
4 Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.
Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5 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.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.
When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7 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.
Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8 E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.
My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9 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?
What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10 Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.
Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11 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;
By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12 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.
So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
