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.

For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

2 E Ihowa, tohungia ahau, he ngoikore hoki ahau: rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, e ohooho ana hoki oku wheua.

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

3 E ohooho noa iho ana hoki toku wairua: ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kia pehea atu te roa?

My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 Hoki mai, e Ihowa, kia mawhiti atu toku wairua: kia mahara ki tou aroha, a whakaorangia ahau.

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.

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 no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades? (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.

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

7 Pakoko kau toku kanohi i te tangi; kua koroheke haere i oku hoariri katoa.

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

8 Mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; kua rongo nei hoki a Ihowa i te reo o taku tangi.

Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Kua rongo a Ihowa ki taku inoi; ka manako a Ihowa ki taku karakia.

The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

10 Ka whakama, ka pokaikaha noa iho oku hoariri katoa: ka hoki ratou, ka pa whakarere atu te whakama.

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
