116  E aroha ana ahau ki a Ihowa: mona i whakarongo ki toku reo, ki aku inoi.

I tahuri mai tona taringa ki ahau: mo reira ka karanga ahau ki a ia i ahau e ora ana.

I karapotia ahau e nga whakawiringa a te mate: mau pu ahau i nga mamae o te reinga, i kite ahau i te pawera, i te pouri.

Na ko taku karangatanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa; Tena ra, e Ihowa, whakaorangia toku wairua.

He atawhai a Ihowa, he tika: ae, he aroha to tatou Atua.

E tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga kuware: i whakaititia ahau, a nana ahau i whakaora.

E hoki, e toku wairua, ki tou okiokinga; kua atawhaitia hoki koe e Ihowa.

Nau hoki toku wairua i whakaora kei mate, oku kanohi kei whai roimata, oku waewae kei paheke.

Tera ahau e haereere i te aroaro o Ihowa i te whenua o te ora.

10 I whakapono ahau, koia ahau i korero ai: he nui toku whakawhiunga.

11 I mea ahau i toku ohoreretanga, He teka kau nga tangata katoa.

12 He aha taku e whakahoki ai ki a Ihowa mo ana atawhainga katoa i ahau?

13 Ka mau ahau ki te kapu o te whakaoranga, ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

14 Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o tana iwi katoa.

15 He mea utu nui ki ta Ihowa titiro te matenga o tana hunga tapu.

16 E Ihowa, he pono ko ahau tau pononga; ko ahau tau pononga, ko te tama a tau pononga wahine; nau i wewete oku here.

17 Ka tukua e ahau te patunga tapu, ara te whakawhetai: ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

18 Ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ae, ki te aroaro o tana iwi katoa.

19 Ki nga marae o te whare o Ihowa, ki waenganui ou, e Hiruharama. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

Psalm 116

I love the Lord,(A) for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry(B) for mercy.(C)
Because he turned his ear(D) to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death(E) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name(F) of the Lord:
    Lord, save me!(G)

The Lord is gracious and righteous;(H)
    our God is full of compassion.(I)
The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low,(J) he saved me.(K)

Return to your rest,(L) my soul,
    for the Lord has been good(M) to you.

For you, Lord, have delivered me(N) from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord(O)
    in the land of the living.(P)

10 I trusted(Q) in the Lord when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;(R)
11 in my alarm I said,
    “Everyone is a liar.”(S)

12 What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness(T) to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name(U) of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows(V) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight(W) of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.(X)
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;(Y)
    I serve you just as my mother did;(Z)
    you have freed me from my chains.(AA)

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering(AB) to you
    and call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows(AC) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts(AD) of the house of the Lord
    in your midst, Jerusalem.(AE)

Praise the Lord.[a]
