Psalms 31

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

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.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

Anga mai tou taringa ki ahau; hohoro te whakaora i ahau: kia ai koe hei kohatu kaha moku, hei whare tiaki moku.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Ko koe hoki toku kohatu, toku pa: na kia mahara ki tou ingoa, a arahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Kapohia ahau i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou moku; ko koe hoki toku kaha.

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

Tenei toku wairua te tukua atu nei e ahau ki tou ringa; nau ahau i hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua o te pono.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

E kino ana ahau ki te hunga e whakaaro ana ki nga mea tekateka noa; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a Ihowa.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

Ka 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;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Kahore ahau i kopia e koe ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri: kua whakaturia e koe oku waewae ki te wahi nui.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

Tohungia ahau, e Ihowa, kei te he hoki ahau, pakoko kau toku mata i te pouri, toku wairua me toku kopu.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

Ka 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.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

He 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.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

Kua warewaretia ahau me te tupapaku kua ngaro atu i te ngakau; kua rite ki te oko pakaru.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

I 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.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

Ko ahau ia i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku Atua.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Kei tou ringa oku taima, whakaorangia ahau i nga ringa o oku hoariri, i te hunga e tukino ana i ahau.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Kia whiti tou mata ki tau pononga; whakaorangia ahau, he mahi tohu hoki tau.

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Kei whakama ahau, e Ihowa; kua karanga hoki ahau ki a koe: kia whakama te hunga kino, kia takoto puku i te reinga.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Whakamutua 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.

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!

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!

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Ka 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.

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, mona i mea kia miharotia tana mahi tohu ki ahau i te pa kaha.

For 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.

I 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.

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

Arohaina a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu katoa: e tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga pono, a he nui tana utu ki te kaimahi whakapehapeha.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Kia maia, kia kaha o koutou ngakau, e te hunga katoa e tumanako ana ki a Ihowa.
