Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
He Hikaiono na Rawiri, tana i waiata ai ki a Ihowa mo nga kupu a Kuhu Pineamine. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kei a koe toku whakawhirinakitanga: kia ora ahau i te hunga katoa e aru ana i ahau, kia mawhiti atu hoki ahau:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Kei haehae ia i toku wairua, ano he raiona, a titaritari noa, i te mea kahore he kaiarai.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ki te mea naku tena mahi, ki te mea he hara kei oku ringa;
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
Ki te mea i whakahokia e ahau he kino ki te tangata kua mau nei ta maua rongo; i whakaora nei hoki ahau i te tangata i kino noa mai ki ahau:
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
Kia arumia toku wairua e te hoariri, a kia mau; kia takahia hoki toku ora e ia ki te whenua, kia whakatokotoria ano toku kororia ki te puehu. (Hera)
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
E Ihowa, whakatika, kia riri koe, ara ake, e nana nei hoki oku hoa whawhai: kia oho ake hoki koe moku; kua kiia e koe te whakawa.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
Tukua kia karapotia koe e te whakaminenga o nga iwi: ma runga atu i a ratou tou hokinga atu ki runga.
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Ko Ihowa e whakarite whakawa ana mo nga iwi; kia rite, e Ihowa, tau whakawa moku ki taku mahi tika, ki te tapatahi hoki o oku whakaaro.
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
Kia whakamutua te kino o te hunga kino: whakaukia hoki te tangata tika: e whakamatautau ana hoki te Atua tika i nga ngakau, i nga whatumanawa.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Kei te Atua toku whakangungu rakau, mana e whakaora te hunga ngakau tika.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
He kaiwhakawa tika te Atua, ae ra, he Atua e riri ana i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
Ki te kore tetahi e tahuri, ka whakakoia e ia tana hoari; kua whakapikoa e ia tana kopere, a oti rawa te whakapai.
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
Oti rawa ano ana mea whakamate te whakapai e ia; kua meinga e ia ana pere ano he ahi.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Nana, he kino te mea e whakamamae nei ia; he whanoke te mea i hapu ki roto ki a ia, a whanau ake he teka.
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
I pokaia e ia he poka, he mea keri nana, taka iho ia ki roto ki te rua i mahia e ia.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
Ka hoki tona whanoke ki tona matenga, a ka tau iho tana tukino ki tona tumuaki.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Ka rite ki tona tika taku whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: ka himene atu hoki ahau ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Runga Rawa.
