Psalms 63
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
He himene na Rawiri, i a ia i te koraha o Hura. E te Atua, noku koe Atua; ka moata taku rapu i a koe. E hiainu ana toku wairua ki a koe, e hiahia ana oku kikokiko ki a koe, i te whenua maroke, ruha noa, kahore nei he wai.
2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
Koia i titiro atu ai ahau ki a koe i te wahi tapu, kia kite ai i tou kaha, i tou kororia.
3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
Pai atu tou aroha i te ora: mo reira ka whakamoemiti oku ngutu ki a koe.
4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
Ina, ka whakapai ahau ki a koe i ahau ano e ora nei; ka totoro atu oku ringa i runga i tou ingoa.
5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
Ka makona toku wairua, ano i te hinu wheua, i te ngako, a ka hari oku ngutu ina whakamoemiti toku mangai ki a koe.
6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
Ina mahara ahau ki a koe i runga i toku moenga, ina whakaaro ki a koe i nga mataaratanga o te po.
7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
Ko koe hoki toku kaiawhina: na ka hari ahau ki te taumarumarutanga iho o ou pakau.
8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Piri tonu toku wairua ki a koe: e tautoko ake ana tou matau i ahau.
9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
Ko te hunga e whai ana i toku wairua kia whakangaromia, ka riro ratou ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua.
10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
Ka tukua atu ratou ki te kaha o te hoari: hei wahi ratou ma nga pokiha.
11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
Tena ko te kingi, ka hari ia ki te Atua; ka whakamanamana nga tangata katoa ko ia nei ta ratou oati: a ka purua te mangai o te hunga katoa e korero teka ana.
