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 of David: dedication-song of the house. I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2 E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.
Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka. (Sheol h7585)

For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.
6 I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall 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.
Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
8 E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.
I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:
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, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.
Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, 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;
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
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.
That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
