1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki nei; kei whakama ahau ake ake: whakaorangia ahau, he tika nei hoki koe.
2Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
2Anga mai tou taringa ki ahau; hohoro te whakaora i ahau: kia ai koe hei kohatu kaha moku, hei whare tiaki moku.
3For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name`s sake lead me and tend me.
3Ko koe hoki toku kohatu, toku pa: na kia mahara ki tou ingoa, a arahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.
4Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
4Kapohia ahau i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou moku; ko koe hoki toku kaha.
5Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
5Tenei toku wairua te tukua atu nei e ahau ki tou ringa; nau ahau i hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua o te pono.
6I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
6E kino ana ahau ki te hunga e whakaaro ana ki nga mea tekateka noa; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a Ihowa.
7I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
7Ka whakamanamana ahau, ka hari ki tou atawhai; mou i titiro ki taku tangi; i matau hoki ki toku wairua i nga wa o te he;
8And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
8Kahore ahau i kopia e koe ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri: kua whakaturia e koe oku waewae ki te wahi nui.
9Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
9¶ Tohungia ahau, e Ihowa, kei te he hoki ahau, pakoko kau toku mata i te pouri, toku wairua me toku kopu.
10For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
10Ka hemo nei hoki toku ora i te tangi, me oku tau i te aue; poto iho toku kaha i toku he, kurupopo ana oku iwi.
11Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without — fled from me.
11He tawainga ahau na oku hoariri katoa; ko te tino mahi ia tena a oku hoa noho tata, he mea wehi ahau na nga tangata i mohio ki ahau: ko te hunga i kite i ahau i waho, rere ana i ahau.
12I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
12Kua warewaretia ahau me te tupapaku kua ngaro atu i te ngakau; kua rite ki te oko pakaru.
13For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
13I rongo hoki ahau i te ngautuara a te tini; i karapotia ahau e te wehi: i a ratou e runanga ana ki te he moku, i mea kia whakamatea ahau.
14And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.`
14Ko ahau ia i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku Atua.
15In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
15Kei tou ringa oku taima, whakaorangia ahau i nga ringa o oku hoariri, i te hunga e tukino ana i ahau.
16Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
16Kia whiti tou mata ki tau pononga; whakaorangia ahau, he mahi tohu hoki tau.
17O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
17Kei whakama ahau, e Ihowa; kua karanga hoki ahau ki a koe: kia whakama te hunga kino, kia takoto puku i te reinga.
18Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
18Whakamutua te korero a nga ngutu teka, he kino nei a ratou korero mo te tangata tika, na to ratou whakapehapeha hoki, na to ratou whakahihi.
19How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
19¶ Ano te nui o tau pai kua rongoatia nei e koe mo te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe; i mahia nei e koe mo te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe i te aroaro o nga tama a te tangata!
20Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
20Ka huna ratou e koe ki te wahi ngaro i tou aroaro i nga rauhanga a te tangata; ka huna ratou e koe ki roto ki te teneti, kei taea e te ngangau a nga arero.
21Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
21Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, mona i mea kia miharotia tana mahi tohu ki ahau i te pa kaha.
22And I — I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,` But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
22I ki hoki ahau i toku potatutatunga, Kua motuhia mai ahau i mua i ou kanohi: ahakoa ra i rongo koe ki toku reo inoi i taku karangatanga ki a koe.
23Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
23Arohaina a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu katoa: e tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga pono, a he nui tana utu ki te kaimahi whakapehapeha.
24Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
24Kia maia, kia kaha o koutou ngakau, e te hunga katoa e tumanako ana ki a Ihowa.
