Psalms 102

The prayer of the afflicted

He īnoi nā te ngākau mamae, i a ia e pēhia ana, ā, maringi a wai ana tāna tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowā. Whakarongo ki tāku īnoi, e Ihowā, kia puta atu tāku tangi ki a koe. ²Kaua e hunā tōu mata ki ahau i te rā e pōuri ai ahau. Whakatītahatia mai tōu taringa ki ahau; hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau i te rā e karanga ai ahau. ³Ka memeha hoki ōku rā ānō he paoa; ka kāia ōku wheua ānō he motumotu.

⁴Kua pākia tōku ngākau, kua memenge, ānō he tarutaru; i wareware ai ahau ki te kai i tāku taro. ⁵Piri tonu ōku iwi ki tōku kiri i tōku reo auē. ⁶He rite ahau ki te matuku i te koraha, ki te koukou i te wāhi mokemoke.

⁷Mataara tonu ahau; tōku rite kei te pīhoihoi mokemoke i runga i te tuanui. ⁸E tāwai ana ōku hoariri ki ahau i te rā roa; ko te hunga e pōrangirangi ana mai ki ahau, ko ahau tā rātou oati. ⁹Kainga ana e ahau te pungarehu ānō he taro; whakananua iho tōku wai inu ki te roimata.

¹⁰I tōu riri hoki, i tōu weriweri; nāu hoki ahau i hāpai ake, ā, tāia atu anō ahau e koe. ¹¹He rite ōku rā ki te ātārangi e whakawairua kau ana; ā, kua memenge ahau ānō he tarutaru. ¹²Ko koe ia, e Ihowā, ka mau tonu ake ake, ka maharatia anō koe e ngā whakatupuranga katoa.

¹³Tērā koe e whakatika, e aroha ki a Hiona; kua taka mai hoki te wā, āe rā, te tino wā, hei atawhainga i a ia. ¹⁴E manakohia ana hoki e āu pononga ōna kōhatu, e āwangawanga ana ki tōna puehu. ¹⁵Pēnei ka wehingia te ingoa o Ihowā e ngā tauiwi, tōu korōria hoki e ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua.

¹⁶Nā Ihowā hoki i hanga a Hiona, kua kitea ia i tōna korōria. ¹⁷Kua tahuri ia ki te īnoi a te rawakore; kīhai i whakahāwea ki tā rātou īnoi. ¹⁸Ka tuhituhia tēnei mō tō muri whakatupuranga; ā, ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā te iwi meāke hangā: ¹⁹mōna i titiro iho i te tiketike o tōna wāhi tapu; i titiro iho a Ihowā i te rangi ki te whenua; ²⁰ki te whakarongo ki te auē a te herehere, ki te wewete i te hunga kua motuhia mō te mate; ²¹kia whakapuakina ai te ingoa o Ihowā i Hiona, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i Hiruhārama; ²²i te huihuinga o ngā iwi, o ngā kīngitanga, ki te mahi ki a Ihowā.

²³Whakangoikoretia iho e ia tōku kaha i te ara; kua torutoru i a ia ōku rā. ²⁴I mea ahau, “E tōku Atua, kaua ahau e tangohia i waenganui o ōku rā; kei ngā whakatupuranga katoa ōu tau.” ²⁵Nōnamata te whenua i whakatūria ai e koe, ā, he mahi ngā rangi nā ōu ringa.

²⁶Ko ērā e hemo atu, ko koe ia e mau tonu; āe rā, ka tawhitotia katoatia me he weweru. Ka whakaputaia kētia rātou e koe ānō he kākahu, ā, ka whakaputaia kētia. ²⁷Ko koe ia, ko koe tonu, kāhore hoki he mutunga o ōu tau. ²⁸Ka whai nohoanga ngā tama a āu pononga, ka pūmau ō rātou uri ki tōu aroaro.
