Salmos 86

A Prayer by David.

1 Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,

for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly.

You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

3 Be merciful to me, Lord,

for I call to you all day long.

4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant,

for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

6 Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.

Listen to the voice of my petitions.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you,

for you will answer me.

8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,

nor any deeds like your deeds.

9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.

They shall glorify your name.

10 For you are great, and do wondrous things.

You are God alone.

11 Teach me your way, Yahweh.

I will walk in your truth.

Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.

I will glorify your name forever more.

13 For your loving kindness is great toward me.

You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.*86:13 Sheol is the place of the dead.

14 God, the proud have risen up against me.

A company of violent men have sought after my soul,

and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,

slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me!

Give your strength to your servant.

Save the son of your servant.

17 Show me a sign of your goodness,

that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed,

because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

He Īnoi o te Tangata Mōrearea

He īnoi nā Rāwiri.

1 Whakatītahatia iho tōu taringa, e Ihowā, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau;

he ware hoki ahau, he rawakore.

2 Tiakina tōku wairua; he tapu hoki ahau.

Māu, e tōku Atua, e whakaora tāu pononga

e whakawhirinaki atu nei ki a koe.

3 Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki;

e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te rā roa nei.

4 Whakaharitia te wairua o tāu pononga;

ka ara atu nei hoki tōku wairua, e te Ariki, ki a koe.

5 He pai hoki koe, e te Ariki, he ngāwari;

e ranea ana hoki tāu mahi tohu ki te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki a koe.

6 Tahuri mai tōu taringa, e Ihowā, ki tāku īnoi;

whakarongo ki tōku reo unene.

7 Ka karanga ahau ki a koe i te rā o tōku pōuri;

e whakahoki kupu mai hoki koe ki ahau.

8 Kāhore he rite mōu, e te Ariki, i roto i ngā atua;

kāhore hoki he rite mō āu mahi.

9 Ka haere mai ngā iwi katoa i hangā e koe,

ā, ka koropiko ki tōu aroaro, e te Ariki;

ka whakakorōria hoki i tōu ingoa.

10 He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i ngā mea whakamīharo;

ko koe anake te Atua.

11 Whakaakona ahau ki tāu ara, e Ihowā;

ka haere ahau i runga i tōu pono;

whakatapatahitia tōku ngākau ki te wehi i tōu ingoa.

12 Ka whakamoemiti katoa tōku ngākau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e tōku Atua;

ka whakakorōria anō i tōu ingoa ake ake.

13 He nui hoki tāu mahi tohu ki ahau;

ā, kua whakaorangia e koe tōku wairua i te rēinga i raro riro.

14 E te Atua, kua whakatika ki ahau te hunga whakakake;

kua whāia anō tōku wairua e te huihuinga o te hunga tutū;

kāhore hoki koe e waiho i tō rātou aroaro.

15 Ko koe ia, e te Ariki, he Atua atawhai, he tohu tangata;

he pūhoi ki te riri, e hua ana te mahi tohu me te pono.

16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau;

hōmai tōu kaha ki tāu pononga,

whakaorangia te tama a tāu pononga wahine.

17 Whakakitea mai ki ahau he tohu mō te pai;

kia kite ai te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, kia whakamā ai;

nōu e Ihowā i āwhina i ahau, i whakamārie i ahau.
