1 To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \6:1\O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

3 \6:2\Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

4 \6:3\My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

5 \6:4\Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

6 \6:5\For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

7 \6:6\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.

8 \6:7\My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

9 \6:8\Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

10 \6:9\The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

11 \6:10\Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

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.

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

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

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

5 Kahore hoki he mahara ki a koe ina mate: ko wai hei whakawhetai ki a koe i roto i te reinga?

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.

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

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

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

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