Salmos 130

Mai i te Hohonu

He waiata; he pikitanga.

1 I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā, i roto i ngā hōhonu.

2 E te Ariki, whakarongo mai ki tōku reo!

Kia anga mai ōu taringa

ki tōku reo īnoi!

3 Me i maharatia e koe ngā kino, e Ihowā,

ko wai, e te Ariki, e tū?

4 Otirā, he muru hara tāu,

e wehingia ai koe.

5 E tatari ana ahau ki a Ihowā, e tatari ana tōku wairua;

e tūmanako ana hoki ahau ki tāna kupu.

6 Ko te tāringa o tōku wairua i te Ariki nui atu

i tō te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata,

āe, i tō te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata.

7 E Īharaira, kia tūmanako ki a Ihowā!

Kei a Ihowā hoki te mahi tohu,

ā, kei a ia te hokonga nui.

8 Ā, māna a Īharaira e hoko

i roto i ōna hē katoa.

A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Lord, hear my voice:

Let thine ears be attentive

To the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee,

That thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait,

And in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord

More than watchmen wait for the morning;

Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah;

For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness,

And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.
