Psalms 5

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He himene na Rawiri. Tahuri tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki aku kupu, kia mohio koe ki toku whakaaroaronga.

2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.

Whakarongo ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi hoki taku ki a koe.

3 In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.

E rongo koe ki toku reo, e Ihowa, i te ata; i te ata ka whakatikaia atu e ahau taku inoi ki a koe, a ka titiro matatau atu.

4 For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.

Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara, e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.

5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

E kore te hunga wairangi e tu ki tou aroaro: e kinongia ana e koe nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.

6 You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

E ngaro i a koe te hunga korero teka; e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hianga.

7 But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear towards your holy temple.

Ko ahau ia ka haere i runga i te tini o au atawhai ki tou whare: ka koropiko ki te ritenga o tau temepara tapu, me te wehi ano ki a koe.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.

E Ihowa, arahina ahau i runga i tou tika, he hoariri hoki oku; whakatikaia tau ara i mua i ahau.

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

Kahore hoki he pono i o ratou mangai; he kino kau a roto i a ratou; he urupa puare noa o ratou korokoro; e patipati ana o ratou arero.

10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.

Whakataua te hara ki a ratou, e te Atua; kia hinga ratou i o ratou whakaaro; peia atu ratou me a ratou tini mahi tutu; mo ratou i whakakeke ki a koe.

11 But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell amongst them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.

Na kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe: kia hamama tonu ratou i te koa, mo ratou e hipokina nei e koe; a kia whakamanamana ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.

12 For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favour.

No te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowa, te tangata tika; me he whakangungu rakau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.
