Psalms 52
1 Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Makiri; na Rawiri, i a Roeke Eromi i haere, i whakaatu ki a Haora, i mea ki a ia, Kua tae a Rawiri ki te whare o Ahimereke. He aha koe ka whakapakari ai ki te kino, e te tangata nui? He pumau tonu te atawhai o te Atua.
2 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
E whakatakoto ana tou arero i nga mea nanakia, e mahi hianga ana, ano he heu koi.
3 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
E arohaina rawatia ana e koe te kino i te pai, te teka i te korero tika. (Hera)
4 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
E te arero hianga, e arohaina ana e koe nga kupu horomiti katoa.
5 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
Ka whakangaro hoki te Atua i a koe ake tonu atu; ka tangohia atu koe e ia, ka takiritia atu i tou nohoanga, ka hutia atu hoki koe i te whenua o te ora. (Hera)
6 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
E kite hoki te hunga tika, a ka wehi; ka kata hoki ki a ia, ka mea,
7 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
Inana, ko te tangata tenei kihai nei i waiho e ia te Atua hei kaha mona; otiia, whakawhirinaki ana ki te tini o ana taonga, whakapakari ana i runga i tana mahi kino.
8 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
Ko ahau ia, e rite ana ki te oriwa matomato i roto i te whare o te Atua: ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki te mahi tohu a te Atua ake ake.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
Ka whakamoemiti tonu ahau ki a koe, nau hoki tenei i mea: ka tumanako ano ki tou ingoa; he mea pai hoki, ki te aroaro o tau hunga tapu.
