Psalms 71

Ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki ai, e Ihowa: kei whakama ahau ake ake.

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

Whakaorangia ahau, i runga i tou tika, kia mawhiti ano ahau: tahuri mai tou taringa ki ahau, whakaorangia hoki ahau.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

Kia ai koe hei teko e noho ai ahau, hei hokihokinga tonutanga atu moku: kua kiia iho ahau e koe kia whakaorangia: ko koe nei hoki toku kohatu, toku pourewa.

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

Whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua, i te ringa o te tangata kino, i te ringa o te whanoke, o te nanakia.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

Ko koe nei hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taku e tumanako atu nei, taku e whakawhirinaki nei no toku tamarikitanga ake ano.

For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

Nau ahau i tautoko ake no te kopu mai ano; nau ahau i tango mai i roto i nga whekau o toku whaea; ko koe taku e whakamoemiti tonu ai.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

He miharotanga ahau na te tini; ko koe ia toku piringa kaha.

I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

Kia ki toku mangai i te whakamoemiti ki a koe, i tou honore i te roa o te ra.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

Kaua ahau e panga a te wa o te koroheketanga, kaua ahau e whakarerea ina hemo toku kaha.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

E korerotia ana hoki ahau e oku hoariri, a e runanga tahi ana te hunga e whanga ana ki toku wairua.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

E mea ana, Kua whakarerea ia e te Atua: whaia, hopukia; kahore hoki tetahi hei whakaora.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

E te Atua, kei matara atu koe i ahau: e toku Atua, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

Kia whakama, kia pau nga hoariri o toku wairua: kia hipokina ki te tawai, ki te whakama, te hunga e rapu ana i te he moku.

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

Ko ahau ia, ka tumanako tonu: ka hono tonu ano te whakamoemiti ki a koe.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Ma toku mangai e whakakite tou tika, tau whakaoranga i te roa o te ra; kahore hoki ahau e mohio e hia ranei.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

Ka haere ahau i runga i te kaha o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ka whakahuatia e ahau tou tika, tou anake.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

E te Atua, he mea whakaako ahau nau, no toku tamarikitanga ake; a he whakapuaki taku i au mahi whakamiharo a mohoa noa nei.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Na kaua ahau e whakarerea, e te Atua, a koroheke noa, hina noa ahau, kia whakakitea ra ano e ahau tou kaha ki tenei whakatupuranga, tou nui ki nga tangata katoa e puta mai a mua.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

Kei runga rawa ano tou tika, e te Atua, he nui nei hoki au mahi: e te Atua, ko wai te rite ki a koe?

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

He nui, he kino nga pouritanga ngakau i whakakitea mai e koe ki a matou; tera ano koe ka whakahauora i a matou, ka whakahoki ake ano i a matou i nga wahi hohonu o te whenua.

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Whakaraneatia e koe toku nui, a tahuri mai ano ka whakamarie i ahau.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te hatere, ara ki tou pono, e toku Atua: ka himene ahau ki a koe i runga i te hapa, e te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

Ka tino hari oku ngutu ua himene ahau ki a koe: me toku wairua ano i hokona nei e koe.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Ka korerotia hoki e toku arero tou tika i te roa o te ra: kua whakama nei hoki, kua numinumi kau te hunga i rapu i te he moku.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
