1 B lessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.

2 B lessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e whakairia e Ihowa he hara ki a ia, a kahore he hianga i tona wairua.

3 W hen I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long.

I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.

4 F or day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah

No tou ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te po; kua whakaputaina ketia toku makukuranga, ano na te maroketanga o te raumati. (Hera.

5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

I whakina e ahau toku hara ki a koe, kihai hoki i huna i toku kino: i mea ahau, Ka whakina aku mahi tutu ki a Ihowa; a murua ana e koe te kino o toku hara. (Hera.

6 F or this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.

Mo konei ka inoi ki a koe nga tangata tapu katoa i te wa e kitea ai koe: he pono ka ngawha nga wai nui, e kore e tata ki a ia.

7 Y ou are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.

9 D o not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.

Kei rite koutou ki te hoiho, ki te muera ranei, kahore nei he matauranga; he mea kuku nei o raua kauae ki te paraire, ki te moka hei pupuri mai; ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.

10 M any sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.

He tini nga mea whakapouri mo te tangata hara: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ka karapotia e te atawhai.

11 B e glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.
