1 [A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.] I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.2 Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.3 Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.4 Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.5 For a moment {is passed} in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.7 Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.8 I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:9 What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?10 Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;12 That {my} glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

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.2 E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kore ake toku mate i a koe.3 E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka.4 Himene ki a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu, whakawhetai hoki ki tona ingoa tapu.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.6 I mea ahau i toku wa i kake ai, E kore ahau e whakangaueuetia a muri ake nei.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.8 E Ihowa, i karanga ahau ki a koe, i inoi hoki ki a Ihowa.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?10 Whakarongo, e Ihowa, tohungia hoki ahau: e Ihowa, ko koe hei awhina moku.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;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.
