Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri, hei whakamahara. Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau: e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.

2 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.

3 Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

Kia whakahokia ki muri mo to ratou whakama, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.

4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia te Atua.

5 But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e Ihowa.
