1 K i 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.

Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

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

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

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

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

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

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

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

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?

6 M auiui 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.

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

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

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
