Psaumes 138
Tu m'as répondu le jour où j'ai crié
Nā Rāwiri. Ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe; ka hīmene atu ahau ki a koe i te aroaro o ngā atua. 2Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tōu temepara tapu, ā, ka whakamoemiti ki tōu ingoa, mō tōu aroha me tōu pono; kua whakanuia hoki e koe tāu kupu ki runga ake i tōu ingoa katoa. 3I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te rā i karanga ai ahau, ā, whakahirihiritia ana e koe tōku wairua ki te kaha.
4Ka whakamoemiti ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowā, kua rongo hoki rātou ki ngā kupu a tōu māngai. 5Āe, e waiata rātou mō ngā ara o Ihowā; he nui hoki te korōria o Ihowā. 6Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowā, e titiro iho ana anō ia ki te hunga pāpaku; tēnā ko te tangata whakakake, i tawhiti anō kua mātauria e ia.
7Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te hē, māu ahau e whakahauora; ka totoro tōu ringa ki te riri o ōku hoa whawhai, mā tōu ringa matau anō ahau e whakaora. 8Mā Ihowā e whakaoti āku mea; e Ihowā, e mau ana tāu mahi tohu ake ake. Kaua e whakarērea ngā mahi a ōu ringa.
