Salmos 85

He Īnoi mō te Oranga o te Iwi

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene mā ngā tama a Koraha.

1 E Ihowā, kua aro mai koe ki tōu whenua,

kua whakahokia mai e koe a Hākopa i te whakarau.

2 Kua murua e koe te kino o tāu iwi,

kua hīpokina e koe ō rātou hara katoa. Hera

3 Kua mutu katoa tōu weriweri;

kua tahuri kē koe i te āritarita o tōu riri.

4 Whakahokia ake mātou, e te Atua o tō mātou whakaoranga;

meinga hoki kia mutu tōu riri ki a mātou.

5 E riri rānei koe ki a mātou ake ake?

E mauāhara tonu rānei, ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa?

6 E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a mātou ki te ora;

kia hari ai tāu iwi ki a koe?

7 E Ihowā, whakakitea mai tāu mahi tohu ki a mātou;

tukua mai ki a mātou tāu whakaoranga.

8 Ka whakarongo ahau ki tā te Atua, ki tā Ihowā, e kōrero ai;

nō te mea mō te rongo mau āna kōrero ki tāna iwi,

ki tāna hunga tapu hoki; kaua ia rātou e hoki ki te wairangi.

9 Inā, he tata tonu tāna whakaoranga ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia

kia noho ai te korōria ki tō tātou whenua.

10 Kua tūtaki te mahi tohu rāua ko te pono;

kua kihi ki a rāua te tika me te rongo mau.

11 Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua,

ā, ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.

12 Āe, ka hōmai e Ihowā te pai,

ā, ka tukua mai ōna hua e tō tātou whenua.

13 Ka haere te tika i mua i a ia,

hei whakatū i a tātou ki te ara o ōna hīkoinga.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;

Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;

Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah

3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath;

Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 Turn us, O God of our salvation,

And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6 Wilt thou not quicken us again,

That thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,

And grant us thy salvation.

8 I will hear what God Jehovah will speak;

For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:

But let them not turn again to folly.

9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him,

That glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth are met together;

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth springeth out of the earth;

And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;

And our land shall yield its increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before him,

And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.
