1{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance.} Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.
1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri, hei whakamahara. Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau: e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.
2Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
2Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.
3Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!
3Kia whakahokia ki muri mo to ratou whakama, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.
4Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!
4Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia te Atua.
5But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
5Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e Ihowa.
