Psalm 20
Maori Bible
20 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ma Ihowa e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te ra o te he; ma te ingoa o te Atua o Hakopa koe e tiaki;
2 Mana e tono mai he awhina mou i te wahi tapu, e whakau hoki koe i Hiona;
3 Mana e mahara ki au whakahere katoa, e manako ki au tahunga tinana. (Hera.
4 Mana e homai ki a koe ta tou ngakau e mea ai, e whakamana katoa hoki tau e wawata ai.
5 Ka hari matou ki tau whakaoranga, ka whakatu hoki i o matou kara i runga i te ingoa o to matou Atua: ma Ihowa e whakarite au inoi katoa.
6 Katahi ahau ka matau e whakaora ana a Ihowa i tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tona rangi tapu, me te kaha ano tona ringa matau ki te whakaora.
7 Ko ta etahi he hariata, ko ta etahi he hoiho: ko tatou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
8 Kua piko ratou, kua hinga: ko tatou ia kua ara, kua tu ki runga.
9 Whakaorangia, e Ihowa: kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kingi ina karanga matou.

Answer us(W) when we call!
