1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He Makiri, na Rawiri i te haerenga o nga Tiwhi ki a Haora, ki ai, He teka ianei kei a matou a Rawiri e piri ana? E te Atua, kia whakaorangia ahau e tou ingoa; kia whakawakia hoki ahau e tou kaha.
1Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2E te Atua, whakarongo ki taku inoi, tahuri mai tou taringa ki nga kupu a toku mangai.
2Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
3No te mea kua whakatika mai nga tangata iwi ki ki ahau, a e whaia ana toku wairua e te hunga tukino: kahore i waiho e ratou te Atua ki to ratou aroaro. (Hera.
3For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah.
4¶ Tenei te Atua hei kaiawhina moku; kei roto te Ariki i te hunga e tautoko ake ana i toku wairua.
4Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5Mana e utu te kino o oku hoariri: huna ratou, he pono nei hoki koe.
5He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6Ka kakama ahau ki te mea patunga tapu ki a koe, ka whakamoemiti ki tou ingoa, e Ihowa: he mea pai hoki.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.
7Kua whakaorangia hoki ahau e ia i roto i nga he katoa: a kua titiro toku kanohi ki te mea e hiahia ana ahau ki oku hoariri.
7For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
