Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
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 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
Koia i titiro atu ai ahau ki a koe i te wahi tapu, kia kite ai i tou kaha, i tou kororia.
3 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
Pai atu tou aroha i te ora: mo reira ka whakamoemiti oku ngutu ki a koe.
4 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift 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 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
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 I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
Ina mahara ahau ki a koe i runga i toku moenga, ina whakaaro ki a koe i nga mataaratanga o te po.
7 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
Ko koe hoki toku kaiawhina: na ka hari ahau ki te taumarumarutanga iho o ou pakau.
8 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
Piri tonu toku wairua ki a koe: e tautoko ake ana tou matau i ahau.
9 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into 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 delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
Ka tukua atu ratou ki te kaha o te hoari: hei wahi ratou ma nga pokiha.
11 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
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.
