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 leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; Chasten me not in thy hot displeasure!

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

Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble!

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

My soul, also, is sore troubled; And 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! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy 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 no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks? (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 weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old 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 do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping.

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

The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer.

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

All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
