1 He waiata; he pikitanga. I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga hohonu.2 E te Ariki, whakarongo mai ki toku reo: kia anga mai ou taringa ki toku reo inoi.3 Me i maharatia e koe nga kino, e Ihowa, ko wai, e te Ariki, e tu?4 Otira he muru hara tau, e wehingia ai koe.5 E tatari ana ahau ki a Ihowa; e tatari ana toku wairua: e tumanako ana hoki ahau ki tana kupu.6 Ko te taringa o toku wairua i te Ariki nui atu i to te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata; ae, i to te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata.7 E Iharaira, kia tumanako ki a Ihowa, kei a Ihowa hoki te mahi tohu, a kei a ia te hokonga nui.8 A mana a Iharaira e hoko i roto i ona he katoa.

1 A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
