1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
1¶ He Makiri na Ahapa. E te Atua, he aha i panga ai matou e koe ake ake? He aha i pongere ai tou riri ki nga hipi o tau mara?
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
2Mahara ki tau whakaminenga i hokona e koe i mua, i utua e koe hei iwi mo tou kainga tupu; a ki tenei Maunga Hiona i nohoia nei e koe.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
3Hiki ake ou waewae ki nga whakangaromanga e mau tonu nei, ki nga mahi kino katoa a te hoariri ki te wahi tapu.
4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
4Kua hamama nei ou hoariri i waenganui i au whakaminenga, kua whakaturia e ratou a ratou kara hei tohu.
5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
5E rite ana ratou ki nga tangata e hapai ana i te titaha ki te puia rakau.
6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
6Inaianei ia e tukitukia ana e ratou ona mea whakairo, pakaruhia iho ana ki te titaha, ki te hama.
7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
7Kua toua tou wahi tapu ki te kapura, kua noa i a ratou te nohoanga o tou ingoa, kei te whenua e takoto ana.
8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
8I mea to ratou ngakau, Me whakangaro ratou a poto ake: kua tahuna e ratou nga whare huihui katoa o te Atua i te whenua.
9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
9Kahore matou e kite i o matou tohu, kahore atu he poropiti, kahore hoki tetahi o matou e matau ana kia pehea ake te roa.
10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
10E te Atua, kia pehea ake te roa o te tawai a te hoariri? Ka kohukohu tonu ranei te hoariri ki tou ingoa ake ake?
11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
11He aha i pepeke ai tou ringa, tou matau? Unuhia i roto i tou uma, whakamotitia ratou.
12For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
12¶ Ko te Atua ia toku Kingi o tua iho, e mahi whakaora ana i waenganui i te whenua.
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
13Nau, na tou kaha i wawae te moana: pakaru ana i a koe nga matenga o nga tarakona i nga wai.
14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
14Mongamonga noa i a koe nga matenga o rewiatana: a hoatu ana ia e koe hei kai ma te iwi o te koraha.
15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
15I wahia e koe te puna me te roma; mimiti ake i a koe nga awa nunui.
16The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
16Nau te ao, nau hoki te po; nau i whakarite te marama me te ra.
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
17Nau i whakatu nga rohe katoa o te whenua: te raumati me te hotoke, he mea whakarite ena nau.
18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
18¶ Kia mahara ki tenei, kua tawai te hoariri, e Ihowa: kua kohukohu te hunga poauau ki tou ingoa.
19O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
19Kaua e tukua te wairua o tau kukupa ki te kirehe: kei wareware ake ake ki te whakaminenga o au rawakore.
20Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
20Whakaaroa te kawenata; kua kiki hoki nga wahi pouri o te whenua i nga nohoanga nanakia.
21O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
21Kei hoki whakama mai te tangata e tukinotia ana: kia whakamoemititia tou ingoa e te ware, e te rawakore.
22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
22E ara, e te Atua, tohea tau tohe: mahara ki ta te tangata poauau tawai ki a koe a pau noa te ra.
23Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
23Kei wareware ki te reo o ou hoariri: e kake tonu ana te ngangau a te hunga e whakatika ana ki a koe.
