Psalm 141
Maori Bible
141 He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kua tangi nei ahau ki a koe; hohoro mai ki ahau: whakarongo ki toku reo ua karanga ahau ki a koe.
2 Kia whakatikaia taku inoi ki tou aroaro, hei whakakakara; te toronga atu hoki o oku ringa ano ko te whakahere o te ahiahi.
3 Homai he kaitiaki mo toku mangai, e Ihowa: tiakina te kuwaha o oku ngutu.
4 Kaua e whakaangahia toku ngakau ki te mea kino, ki te mahi i nga mahi hianga i roto i nga kaimahi i te kino: kaua ano ahau e kai i a ratou mea papai.
5 Ma te tangata tika ahau e patu: he mahi aroha tena; mana ahau e riri; he hinu tena ki runga ki te upoko; kaua ia e paopaongia e toku upoko: ahakoa hoki i roto i to ratou kino ka inoi tonu ahau.
6 E turakina ana o ratou kaiwhakawa ki te taha o te kohatu; a ka rongo ratou i aku kupu; he reka hoki.
7 Pera i tetahi e haehae ana, e wawahi ana i te whenua, e titaritaria ana o matou wheua ki te waha o te reinga.
8 Otiia e tau ana oku kanohi, e Ihowa, e te Ariki, ki a koe: ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga; kaua toku wairua e waiho pani.
9 Tiakina ahau kei mau i nga mahanga i whakatakotoria e ratou moku, i nga rore hoki a nga kaimahi i te kino.
10 Kia taka te hunga kino ki roto ki a ratou kupenga ano: ko ahau ia kia mawhiti.
Psalm 141
New International Version
Psalm 141
A psalm of David.
1 I call to you, Lord, come quickly(A) to me;
hear me(B) when I call to you.
2 May my prayer be set before you like incense;(C)
may the lifting up of my hands(D) be like the evening sacrifice.(E)
3 Set a guard over my mouth,(F) Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.(G)
4 Do not let my heart(H) be drawn to what is evil
so that I take part in wicked deeds(I)
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.(J)
5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me(K)—that is oil on my head.(L)
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
