Psalms 138

1 By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

Na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i te aroaro o nga atua.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tou temepara tapu, a ka whakamoemiti ki tou ingoa, mo tou aroha me tou pono: kua whakanuia hoki e koe tau kupu ki runga ake i tou ingoa katoa.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te ra i karanga ai ahau: a whakahirihiritia ana e koe toku wairua ki te kaha.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Ka whakamoemiti nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowa, kua rongo hoki ratou ki nga kupu a tou mangai.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!

Ae, e waiata ratou mo nga ara o Ihowa: he nui hoki te kororia o Ihowa.

6 For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowa, e titiro iho ana ano ia ki te hunga papaku: tena ko te tangata whakakake, i tawhiti ano kua matauria e ia.

7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te he, mau ahau e whakahauora: ka totoro tou ringa ki te riri o oku hoa whawhai, ma tou ringa matau ano ahau e whakaora.

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

Ma Ihowa e whakaoti aku mea: e Ihowa, e mau ana tau mahi tohu ake ake; kaua e whakarerea nga mahi a ou ringa.
