Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
He Mikitama na Rawiri. Tiakina ahau, e te Atua: e whakawhirinaki nei hoki ahau ki a koe.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Kua mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Ariki, kahore oku pai i tua atu i a koe.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Ko te hunga tapu i runga i te whenua, te hunga pai rawa, kua ahau katoa toku ahuareka ki a ratou.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Ka whakanuia nga mamae o te hunga e whakawhiti ana i a Ihowa mo tetahi atua ke: e kore e ringihia e ahau a ratou ringihanga toto, e kore ano o ratou ingoa e whakahuatia e oku ngutu.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Ko Ihowa te wahi i wehea mai moku, taku kapu hoki: ko koe te kaiwhakapumau i te wahanga maku.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Kua takoto oku aho ki nga wahi ahuareka, ina, he wahi pai toku.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Ka whakapaingia e ahau a Ihowa, i whakamahara nei i ahau: ka whakaako ano hoki oku whatumanawa i ahau i te po.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Kua waiho tonu e ahau a Ihowa ki toku aroaro: kei toku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Koia i koa ai toku ngakau, i whakamanamana ai toku kororia, i takoto tumanako ai ano oku kikokiko.
No te mea e kore e waiho e koe toku wairua i te reinga, e kore e tukua tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Ka whakakitea mai e koe ki ahau te huarahi o te ora; kei tou aroaro te hari nui, kei tou matau nga ahuareka e kore e mutu.
