1{[A Psalm] of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, [if] thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1¶ Na Rawiri. Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, e toku kohatu, kaua e wahangu ki ahau; ki te wahangu hoki koe ki ahau, ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.
2Whakarongo ki toku reo inoi, ua karanga ahau ki a koe, ina totoro oku ringa ki tou ahurewa tapu.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.
3Kaua ahau e kumea tahitia me te hunga he; me nga kaimahi i te kino, he marie a ratou kupu ki o ratou hoa, he kino ia kei roto i o ratou ngakau.
4Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.
4Kia rite ki a ratou mahi tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, ki te kino ano o a ratou hanga: kia rite ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, whakahokia ta ratou utu ki a ratou.
5For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.
5Na kahore nei ratou e whakaaro ki nga mahi a Ihowa, ki nga meatanga a ona ringa, mo reira ka whakahoroa iho ratou e ia, e kore ano e whakaturia ake.
6Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
6¶ Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa mona i whakarongo mai ki toku reo inoi.
7Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.
7Ko Ihowa toku kaha, toku whakangungu rakau; i whakawhirinaki toku ngakau ki a ia, a awhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai toku ngakau, i whakamoemiti ai hoki taku waiata ki a ia.
8Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.
8Ko Ihowa to ratou kaha, ko ia ano te kaha whakaora o tana tangata i whakawahi ai.
9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.
9Whakaorangia tau iwi, manaakitia tou kainga tupu: whangainga ratou, whakaarahia ake ake.
