Psalms 59
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN SAUL’S SENDING, AND THEY WATCH THE HOUSE TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God, Set me on high from my withstanders.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He Mikitama na Rawiri, i a Haora i tono tangata hei tiaki mo te whare, hei whakamate mona. Whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua, i oku hoariri: whakateiteitia ake ahau i te hunga e whakatika ana ki ahau.
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood.
Whakaorangia ahau i nga kaimahi i te kino: kia ora ahau i te hunga toto.
3 For behold, they laid wait for my soul, Strong ones are assembled against me, Not my transgression nor my sin, O YHWH.
Kei te whanga nei hoki ratou mo toku wairua: e whakamine ana te hunga kaha ki te whawhai ki ahau; kahore nei oku tutu, kahore oku hara, e Ihowa.
4 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
Hore oku kino, oma ana ratou, kei te takatu: e ara hei awhina moku, titiro mai hoki.
5 And You, YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Do not favor any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
Ae ra, maranga, e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, tirohia iho nga tauiwi katoa: kaua e tohungia tetahi o te hunga kino, e poka ke nei. (Hera)
6 They return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go around the city.
Ka hoki mai ratou i te ahiahi, kei te tau, ano he kuri, taiawhiotia ana e ratou te pa.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for “Who hears?”
Nana, kei te kupa o ratou mangai, he hoari kei o ratou ngutu: ki ta ratou, ko wai e rongo?
8 And You, O YHWH, laugh at them, You mock at all the nations.
Ko tau ia, e Ihowa, he kata ki a ratou: hei tawainga mau nga tauiwi katoa.
9 O my Strength, to You I take heed, For God [is] my tower—the God of my kindness.
E toku kaha, ka tatari ahau ki a koe: ko te Atua hoki toku pa.
10 God goes before me, He causes me to look on my enemies.
Kei mua i ahau toku Atua aroha: ma te Atua ahau ka kite i taku i hiahia ai ki oku hoariri.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Shake them by Your strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Kaua ratou e whakamatea, kei wareware toku iwi: kia whakamararatia ratou e tou kaha; whakataka iho ratou, e te Ariki, e to matou whakangungu rakau.
12 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And they recount from the curse and lying.
Mo te hara o to ratou mangai, mo nga kupu a o ratou ngutu, hopukia ratou i runga i to ratou whakakake, mo ta ratou korero, he kanga, he teka.
13 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Whakamotitia i runga i te riri, kia kahore ai ratou: a kia matau ratou ko te Atua te Kawana o Hakopa puta noa ki nga pito o te whenua. (Hera)
14 And they return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go around the city.
I te ahiahi tukua ratou kia hoki, tukua ratou kia tau, ano he kuri, kia taiawhio ratou i te pa.
15 They wander for food, If they are not satisfied—then they murmur.
Ka kopikopiko noa ratou ki te rapu kai, a ka tauwhanga i te po roa ina kore ratou e makona.
16 And I sing of Your strength, And at morning I sing of Your kindness, For You have been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
Ko ahau ia, ka waiatatia e ahau tou kaha; ae, i te ata ka hamamatia e ahau tau mahi toku: ko koe hoki toku pa, toku piringa i te ra o toku pouri.
17 O my Strength, I sing praise to You, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
Ka himene ahau ki a koe, e toku kaha: ko te Atua nei hoki toku pa, toku Atua aroha.
