Psalms 62
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
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.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki, e kore e nui toku ngaueuetanga.
3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
Kia 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?
4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
Heoi 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)
5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
Tatari, e toku wairua, ki te Atua anaki; ko ia taku e tumanako nei.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki; e kore ahau e whakangaueuetia.
7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
Kei te Atua te whakaoranga moku, te kororia ano moku; kei te Atua te kohatu o toku kaha, toku piringa.
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.
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)
9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
He pono he mea memeha noa nga ware, he teka noa nga rangatira; ki te paunatia ratou, mama noa ake ratou tahi i te horihori.
10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tukino, kei wairangi hoki ki te pahua: ki te tini haere nga taonga, kei whakamanawa to koutou ngakau ki reira.
11 God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
Kotahi korerotanga a te Atua, ka rua oku rongonga i tenei, no te Atua te kaha.
12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
Nau ano, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu: rite tonu hoki ki tana mahi tau utu ki te tangata.
