1{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
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 thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence 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 thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
3Ko koe hoki toku kohatu, toku pa: na kia mahara ki tou ingoa, a arahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.
4Draw me out of the net that they have hidden 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, [thou] ùGod 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 them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
6E kino ana ahau ki te hunga e whakaaro ana ki nga mea tekateka noa; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a Ihowa.
7I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of 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 hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large 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.
9Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
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 is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
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.
11More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee 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 am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
12Kua warewaretia ahau me te tupapaku kua ngaro atu i te ngakau; kua rite ki te oko pakaru.
13For I have heard the slander of many -- terror on every side -- when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
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.
14But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
14Ko ahau ia i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku Atua.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
15Kei tou ringa oku taima, whakaorangia ahau i nga ringa o oku hoariri, i te hunga e tukino ana i ahau.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
16Kia whiti tou mata ki tau pononga; whakaorangia ahau, he mahi tohu hoki tau.
17Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in 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 the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous 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.
19[Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
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 keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion 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 be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
21Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, mona i mea kia miharotia tana mahi tohu ki ahau i te pa kaha.
22As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried 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 preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the 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 let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
24Kia maia, kia kaha o koutou ngakau, e te hunga katoa e tumanako ana ki a Ihowa.
