1 He waiata; he pikitanga. I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga hohonu.

2 E te Ariki, whakarongo mai ki toku reo: kia anga mai ou taringa ki toku reo inoi.

3 Me i maharatia e koe nga kino, e Ihowa, ko wai, e te Ariki, e tu?

4 Otira he muru hara tau, e wehingia ai koe.

5 E tatari ana ahau ki a Ihowa; e tatari ana toku wairua: e tumanako ana hoki ahau ki tana kupu.

6 Ko te taringa o toku wairua i te Ariki nui atu i to te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata; ae, i to te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata.

7 E Iharaira, kia tumanako ki a Ihowa, kei a Ihowa hoki te mahi tohu, a kei a ia te hokonga nui.

8 A mana a Iharaira e hoko i roto i ona he katoa.

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Lord, hear my voice:

Let thine ears be attentive

To the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee,

That thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait,

And in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord

More than watchmen wait for the morning;

Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah;

For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness,

And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.
