¹¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ki a Ierutonu. He himene na Rawiri. Ko te Atua anake taku e tatari nei: kei a ia te whakaoranga moku.

¹{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

²Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki, e kore e nui toku ngaueuetanga.

²He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

³Kia pehea te roa o ta koutou tatau ki te tangata, kia whakamatea ai e koutou, e koutou katoa, ka rite ki te taiepa e tungou ana, ki te wawa ka tata te hinga?

³How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

⁴Heoi ano ta ratou e runanga ai ko te turaki i a ia i tona wahi teitei: e ahuareka ana ki te teka; e manaaki ana o ratou mangai, a e kanga ana a roto i a ratou. (Hera.

⁴They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

⁵Tatari, e toku wairua, ki te Atua anaki; ko ia taku e tumanako nei.

⁵Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

⁶Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki; e kore ahau e whakangaueuetia.

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

⁷Kei te Atua te whakaoranga moku, te kororia ano moku; kei te Atua te kohatu o toku kaha, toku piringa.

⁷With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁸¶ Whakawhirinaki ki a ia i nga wa katoa, e te iwi, ringihia to koutou ngakau ki tona aroaro: hei piringa mo tatou te Atua (Hera.

⁸Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

⁹He pono he mea memeha noa nga ware, he teka noa nga rangatira; ki te paunatia ratou, mama noa ake ratou tahi i te horihori.

⁹Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

¹⁰Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tukino, kei wairangi hoki ki te pahua: ki te tini haere nga taonga, kei whakamanawa to koutou ngakau ki reira.

¹⁰Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

¹¹Kotahi korerotanga a te Atua, ka rua oku rongonga i tenei, no te Atua te kaha.

¹¹Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

¹²Nau ano, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu: rite tonu hoki ki tana mahi tau utu ki te tangata.

¹²And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
