1 H ear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He himene na Rawiri. Whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua o toku tika, ina karanga ahau: i ahau i te pouri i whakaputaina ahau e koe; kia atawhai ki ahau, whakarongo ki taku inoi.

3 B ut know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

7 Y ou have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

Hira ake te hari i homai e koe ki roto ki toku ngakau i to ratou i te wa i hua ai a ratou witi, ta ratou waina.

8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Ka takoto marire ahau, a moe tonu iho: ko koe anake hoki, e Ihowa, hei mea kia au toku noho.
