1 Ko ahau te tangata kua kite i te pouri, he mea na te rakau o tona riri.
2 I arahina e ia, i meinga kia haere i te pouri, kahore i te marama.
3 He pono kua tahuri mai ia ki ahau, kua anga mai tona ringa ki ahau, a pau noa te ra.
4 Kua meinga nei e ia oku kikokiko me toku kiri kia rite ki o te koroheke, mangungu kau i a ia oku wheua.
5 Kua hanga e ia he patu moku; karapotia ana ahau ki te wai kawa, ki te raruraru.
6 Kua meinga ahau e ia kia noho ki nga wahi pouri, kia pera me te hunga kua mate noa ake.
7 Kua oti ahau te taiepa mai e ia, te puta atu ahau; kua meinga e ia toku mekameka kia taimaha.
8 Ae ra, i ahau e karanga ana, e hamama ana kia awhinatia, ka araia mai e ia taku inoi.
9 Kua oti ano oku ara te taiepa mai e ia ki te kohatu tarai, whakakopikopikoa ake e ia oku ara.
10 Ko tona rite ki ahau kei te pea e whanga ana, kei te raiona i nga wahi ngaro.
11 Whakangaua ketia ana e ia oku ara, haehaea putia iho ahau; meinga ana ahau e ia kia noho kau noa iho.
12 Kua whakapikoa e ia tana kopere, a whakaturia ake ahau e ia hei koperenga pere.
13 Kua meinga e ia nga pere o tana papa pere kia ngoto ki oku whatumanawa.
14 Kua waiho ahau hei katanga ma toku iwi katoa; hei waiata ma ratou a pau noa te ra.
15 Kua whakakiia ahau e ia ki nga mea kawa, whakainumia rawatia ana ahau e ia ki te taru kawa.
16 Kua whatiwhatiia ano hoki e ia oku niho ki te kirikiri, hipokina ana ahau e ia ki te pungarehu.
17 Kua nekehia atu e koe toku wairua kei tata ki te rangimarie; i wareware ahau ki te pai.
18 Ki tonu ake ahau, kua pirau toku kaha, kahore he tumanakohanga maku ki a Ihowa.
19 Mahara ki toku ngakau mamae, ki toku pouri, ki te taru kawa, ki te wai kawa.
20 Maharahara tonu toku wairua ki a ratou, piko tonu iho i roto i ahau.
21 E whakahokia ake ana tenei e ahau ki toku ngakau, koia i tumanako ai ahau.
22 He mahi tohu na Ihowa te poto ai tatou, he kore no ana mahi aroha e mutu.
23 E hou tonu ana ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata; he nui tou pono.
24 Ko Ihowa te wahi moku, e ai ta toku wairua; no reira ka tumanako ahau ki a ia.
25 He pai a Ihowa ki te hunga e tumanako ana ki a ia, ki te wairua e rapu ana i a ia.
26 He pai ano kia tumanako te tangata, kia tatari marie hoki ki ta Ihowa whakaora.
27 He pai ano mo te tangata kia amohia e ia te ioka i tona tamarikitanga.
28 Me noho ia, tona kotahi, me whakarongo puku hoki, no te mea nana i uta ki a ia.
29 Me tuku e ia tona mangai ki te puehu; mehemea pea tera he tumanakohanga.
30 Me hoatu e ia tona paparinga ki te tangata e papaki ana i a ia: kia ki tonu ia i te tawai.
31 E kore hoki e mau tonu ta Ihowa panga:
32 Ahakoa whakapouri ia, ka aroha ano ia, ka rite ki te nui o tana mahi tohu.
33 Kahore hoki ona ngakau whiu, whakapouri ranei, i nga tama a te tangata.
34 Ko te kuru i nga herehere katoa o te whenua ki raro i ona waewae;
35 Ko te whakapeau ke i te tika o te tangata ina whakawakia i te aroaro o te Runga Rawa;
36 Ko te whakariro ke i ta te tangata ina totohe, e kore tena e whakapaingia e te Ariki.
37 Ko wai tenei hei ki mai, a ka oti, i te mea kihai i whakahaua e te Ariki?
38 He teka ianei e puta mai ana te kino me te pai i roto i te mangai o te Runga Rawa?
39 He aha te tangata ora i amuamu ai, te tangata ina whiua mo ona hara?
40 E rapu tatou, e kimi i o tatou ara, a ka tahuri ano ki a Ihowa.
41 Kia ara atu o tatou ngakau me o tatou ringa ki te Atua i te rangi.
42 I he matou, i whakakeke; kihai ano koe i muru i to matou he.
43 Kua hipokina nei e koe ki te riri, tukinotia ana matou e koe: tukitukia ana e koe, kihai ano i tohungia e koe.
44 Hipokina ana e koe he kapua ki a koe, kei puta atu ta matou inoi.
45 Kua meinga matou e koe hei paru tahinga, hei mea akiri i waenga i nga iwi.
46 Kua hamama mai nga mangai o o matou hoariri katoa ki a matou.
47 Ko te wehi, ko te rua, kua tae mai kei a matou, te whakamoti me te wawahi.
48 Kei te tarere nei nga awa wai i toku kanohi, mo te wawahanga o te tamahine a toku iwi.
49 Maturuturu ana te wai i toku kanohi, kahore hoki e mutu, te ai he pariratanga,
50 Kia titiro mai ra ano a Ihowa, kia kite mai ra ano ia i runga i te rangi.
51 E meatia iho ana toku ngakau e toku kanohi, mo nga tamahine katoa o toku pa.
52 Kua whaia kinotia ahau ano he manu e ratou, e te hunga e hoariri ana ki ahau, kahore he take.
53 Ngaro iho i a ratou toku ara i roto i te poka, kua maka e ratou he kohatu ki runga ki ahau.
54 I rere nga wai i runga i toku mahunga: i mea ahau, kua motuhia ketia ahau.
55 I karanga ahau ki tou ingoa, e Ihowa, i roto i te poka i raro rawa.
56 I rongo koe ki toku reo; kaua e huna tou taringa ki te tanga o toku manawa, ki taku karanga.
57 I whakatata mai koe i te ra i karanga ai ahau ki a koe; i ki mai koe, Kaua e wehi.
58 Kua tohea e koe, e te Ariki, nga tohe a toku wairua; kua hokona e koe toku ora.
59 Kua kite koe, e Ihowa, i te he i mahia ki ahau: mau e whakarite taku whakawa.
60 Kua kite koe i to ratou mauahara katoa, i o ratou whakaaro katoa moku.
61 Kua rongo koe ki ta ratou tawai, e Ihowa, ki o ratou whakaaro katoa moku;
62 Ki nga ngutu o te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau, ki ta ratou tikanga moku, a pau noa te ra.
63 Tirohia mai to ratou nohoanga iho, to ratou whakatikanga ake; ko ahau te waiatatia nei e ratou.
64 Hoatu he utu ki a ratou, e Ihowa, kia rite ki te mahi a o ratou ringa.
65 Hoatu ki a ratou he ngakau pakeke, tau kanga ki a ratou.
66 Whaia ratou i runga i te riri, whakangaromia atu ratou i raro i nga rangi o Ihowa.
1 I [am] the man [who] hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
2 Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without light.
3 Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
4 He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.
5 He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.
6 In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.
8 Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
9 He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
10 A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
11 My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
12 He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
13 He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.
14 I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
15 He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.
16 And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
17 And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
18 And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.
19 Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!
20 Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.
21 This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope.
22 The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies.
23 New every morning, abundant [is] thy faithfulness.
24 My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.
25 Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul [that] seeketh Him.
26 Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.
27 Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.
29 He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.
30 He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.
31 For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.
32 For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.
33 For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.
34 To bruise under one`s feet any bound ones of earth,
35 To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.
37 Who [is] this -- he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord hath not commanded [it]?
38 From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and the good.
39 What -- sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?
40 We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.
41 We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We -- we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou -- Thou hast not forgiven.
43 Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain -- Thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.
45 Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.
46 Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.
47 Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.
48 Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,
50 Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,
51 My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.
53 They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.
54 Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.
55 I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.
56 My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing -- at my cry.
57 Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.
58 Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou hast redeemed my life.
59 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their thoughts against me,
62 The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against me all the day.
63 Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold attentively, I [am] their song.
64 Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.
65 Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them.
66 Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!
