Psalms 28
1 BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
Na Rawiri. Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, e toku kohatu, kaua e wahangu ki ahau; ki te wahangu hoki koe ki ahau, ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.
Whakarongo ki toku reo inoi, ua karanga ahau ki a koe, ina totoro oku ringa ki tou ahurewa tapu.
3 Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.
Kaua ahau e kumea tahitia me te hunga he; me nga kaimahi i te kino, he marie a ratou kupu ki o ratou hoa, he kino ia kei roto i o ratou ngakau.
4 Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.
Kia rite ki a ratou mahi tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, ki te kino ano o a ratou hanga: kia rite ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, whakahokia ta ratou utu ki a ratou.
5 For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.
Na kahore nei ratou e whakaaro ki nga mahi a Ihowa, ki nga meatanga a ona ringa, mo reira ka whakahoroa iho ratou e ia, e kore ano e whakaturia ake.
6 Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa mona i whakarongo mai ki toku reo inoi.
7 YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.
Ko Ihowa toku kaha, toku whakangungu rakau; i whakawhirinaki toku ngakau ki a ia, a awhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai toku ngakau, i whakamoemiti ai hoki taku waiata ki a ia.
8 YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
Ko Ihowa to ratou kaha, ko ia ano te kaha whakaora o tana tangata i whakawahi ai.
9 Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
Whakaorangia tau iwi, manaakitia tou kainga tupu: whangainga ratou, whakaarahia ake ake.
