By David.

1 To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

2 My God, I have trusted in you.

Don’t let me be shamed.

Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

3 Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed.

They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

4 Show me your ways, Yahweh.

Teach me your paths.

5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me,

For you are the God of my salvation.

I wait for you all day long.

6 Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,

for they are from old times.

7 Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.

Remember me according to your loving kindness,

for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.

8 Good and upright is Yahweh,

therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

9 He will guide the humble in justice.

He will teach the humble his way.

10 All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth

to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For your name’s sake, Yahweh,

pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12 What man is he who fears Yahweh?

He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul will dwell at ease.

His offspring will inherit the land.

14 The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him.

He will show them his covenant.

15 My eyes are ever on Yahweh,

for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,

for I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged.

Oh bring me out of my distresses.

18 Consider my affliction and my travail.

Forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many.

They hate me with cruel hatred.

20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.

Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

22 God, redeem Israel

out of all his troubles.

1 Na Rawiri. Ka ara nei toku wairua ki a koe, e Ihowa.

2 E toku Atua, ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga: kei whakama ahau, aua oku hoariri e tukua kia whakaputa ki ahau.

3 Ae, aua tetahi o te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e tukua kia whakama: kia whakama te hunga e tinihanga noa ana.

4 Whakakitea ki ahau au ara, e Ihowa; whakaakona ahau ki au huarahi.

5 Arahina ahau i tou pono, whakaakona hoki ahau: ko koe hoki te Atua o toku whakaoranga; pau noa te ra i ahau e tatari nei ki a koe.

6 E Ihowa, kia mahara ki au mahi tohu, ki au mahi aroha; nonamata riro hoki ena.

7 Kaua e maharatia nga hara o toku tamarikitanga, me oku kino: mahara mai koe ki ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau mahi tohu, kia whakaaro ki tou pai.

8 He pai, he tika a Ihowa, a ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.

9 Ka arahina e ia te hunga mahaki i runga i te whakawa: ka akona hoki e ia te hunga mahaki ki tana ara.

10 He mahi tohu, he pono nga ara katoa o Ihowa ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tana kawenata, i ana whakaaturanga.

11 Kia mahara ki tou ingoa, e Ihowa, a murua toku kino, he nui nei hoki.

12 Ko wai te tangata e wehi ana ki a Ihowa? Ka whakaako ia i a ia ki te ara e pai ai ia.

13 Ka noho tona wairua i runga i te pai, a ka riro te whenua i tona uri.

14 Kei te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te mea ngaro a Ihowa; a mana e whakakite ki a ratou tana kawenata.

15 E tau tonu ana oku kanohi ki a Ihowa; mana hoki e unu ake oku waewae i te kupenga.

16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau; he mokemoke hoki ahau, e mamae ana te ngakau.

17 Kua whakanuia nga whakapawera o toku ngakau: whakaputaina ahau i roto i nga mea e pehi nei i ahau.

18 Tirohia toku mate me toku mamae, a murua katoatia oku hara.

19 Tirohia mai oku hoariri, he tokomaha hoki ratou: a he nanakia te kino e kino nei ratou ki ahau.

20 Tiakina toku wairua, a whakaorangia ahau: kei whakama ahau; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.

21 Tukua ma te ngakau tapatahi, ma te tika ahau e tiaki; e tumanako ana hoki ahau ki a koe.

22 Hokona, e te Atua, a Iharaira i roto i ona whakapawera katoa.
