Psalms 61

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nekina. Na Rawiri. Whakarongo, e te Atua, ki taku karanga: tahuri mai ki taku inoi.

2 From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.

Ka karanga ahau ki a koe i te pito o te whenua, ina pehia toku ngakau: arahina ahau ki te kohatu e tiketike ake ana i ahau.

3 For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

He piringa hoki koe moku: he pa kaha i te hoariri.

4 I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

Ka noho ahau ki tou tapenakara ake ake, ka okioki ki ou pakau hei piringa. (Hera)

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

Kua rongo nei hoki koe, e te Atua, i aku kupu tauranga kua homai e koe te wahi o te hunga e wehi ana ki tou ingoa.

6 Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

Ka whakaraneatia e koe nga ra o te kingi; ona tau ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.

7 Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

E noho ia i te aroaro o te Atua ake ake: whakaritea mai he aroha, he pono, hei tiaki i a ia.

8 So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.

Penei ka himene ahau ki tou ingoa ake ake: ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
