Psalms 57
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He Mikitama. Na Rawiri, i tona rerenga i a Haora i a ia nei i roto i te ana. Tohungia ahau, e te Atua, tohungia ahau, e whakawhirinaki ana hoki toku wairua ki a koe: ae, ka piri ahau ki raro ki te taumarumarut anga o ou pakau, kia pahemo ra ano enei mate.
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
Ka karanga ahau ki te Atua, ki te Runga Rawa, ki te Atua e oti ai aku mea katoa.
3 He sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
Ka unga mai e ia he kaiwhakaora moku i te rangi, ina tawai te tangata e mea ana kia horomia ahau; (Hera) ka unga mai e te Atua tana mahi tohu me tona pono.
4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Kei waenganui toku wairua i nga raiona: e takoto ana ahau i waenganui i te hunga e kaia ana e te ahi; i nga tama hoki a te tangata, he tao nei o ratou niho, he pere, he hoari koi ano o ratou arero.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth.
Kia whakanuia koe, e te Atua, ki runga ake i nga rangi: hei runga atu i te whenua katoa tou kororia.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
Kua whakatakotoria e ratou he kupenga mo oku takahanga, kua piko toku wairua: kua keria e ratou he poka ki toku aroaro, a taka iho ko ratou ano ki roto. (Hera)
7 My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
Pamau tonu toku ngakau, e te Atua, pumau tonu toku ngakau: ka waiata ahau, ae, ka himene ahau.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
E ara, e toku kororia; e ara, e te hatere, e te hapa: ka ara wawe ano ahau.
9 I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe, e te Ariki, i waenganui i nga iwi; ka himene ki a koe i waenganui i nga tauiwi.
10 For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
He nui hoki tau mahi tohu, a tutuki noa ki nga rangi, me tou pono a tutuki noa ki nga kapua.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
Kia whakanuia koe, e te Atua, ki runga i nga rangi: hei runga i te whenua katoa tou kororia.
