¹Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

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 disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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 be turned because of their shame Who say, “Aha! Aha!”

³Kia whakahokia ki muri mo to ratou whakama, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.

⁴Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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 poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t 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.
