Waiata 6
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto, he mea Heminiti. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kaua e whakatupehupehu mai ki ahau, ina riri koe, kaua ano ahau e pakia ina arita mai koe.
To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.
2 E Ihowa, tohungia ahau, he ngoikore hoki ahau: rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, e ohooho ana hoki oku wheua.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.
3 E ohooho noa iho ana hoki toku wairua: ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kia pehea atu te roa?
My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?
4 Hoki mai, e Ihowa, kia mawhiti atu toku wairua: kia mahara ki tou aroha, a whakaorangia ahau.
Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.
5 Kahore hoki he mahara ki a koe ina mate: ko wai hei whakawhetai ki a koe i roto i te reinga? (Sheol h7585)
For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise? (Sheol h7585)
6 Mauiui iho ahau i toku auetanga; e manu ana toku moenga i ahau a pau noa te po; e whakamakukuria ana e ahau toku takotoranga ki oku roimata.
The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.
7 Pakoko kau toku kanohi i te tangi; kua koroheke haere i oku hoariri katoa.
My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.
8 Mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; kua rongo nei hoki a Ihowa i te reo o taku tangi.
Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.
9 Kua rongo a Ihowa ki taku inoi; ka manako a Ihowa ki taku karakia.
The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.
10 Ka whakama, ka pokaikaha noa iho oku hoariri katoa: ka hoki ratou, ka pa whakarere atu te whakama.
Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
