1{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
1¶ He himene na Rawiri, i tona omanga atu i tana tama i a Apoharama. E Ihowa, ano te tini o oku hoariri, he tokomaha te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.
2Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.
2He tokomaha te mea ana ki toku wairua, hore rawa he whakaoranga mona i te Atua. (Hera.
3But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
3Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, hei whakangungu rakau moku, hei kororia moku, hei kaiwhakaara i toku matenga.
4With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.
4¶ I karanga toku reo ki a Ihowa: a whakahoki kupu mai ana ia ki ahau i tona maunga tapu. (Hera.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
5I takoto ahau, i moe; i ara ake ano; na Ihowa hoki ahau i whakamau ake.
6I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
6E kore ahau e mataku i nga mano tini o te iwi, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau karopoti noa.
7Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
7Whakatika, e Ihowa; whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua: nau hoki i patu te kauae o oku hoariri katoa; mangungu noa i a koe nga niho o te hunga kino.
8Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
8Na Ihowa te whakaoranga: kei runga i tau iwi tau manaaki. (Hera.
