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.
I will extol thee, O Yhwh; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.
O Yhwh 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)
O Yhwh, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.
Sing unto Yhwh, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
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 anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.
And in my prosperity I said, 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.
Yhwh, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.
I cried to thee, O Yhwh; and unto Yhwh I made 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, when I go 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 Yhwh, and have mercy upon me: Yhwh, be thou 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 put off 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.
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Yhwh my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
