Psalms 63
1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.
He himene na Rawiri, i a ia i te koraha o Hura. E te Atua, noku koe Atua; ka moata taku rapu i a koe. E hiainu ana toku wairua ki a koe, e hiahia ana oku kikokiko ki a koe, i te whenua maroke, ruha noa, kahore nei he wai.
2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.
Koia i titiro atu ai ahau ki a koe i te wahi tapu, kia kite ai i tou kaha, i tou kororia.
3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.
Pai atu tou aroha i te ora: mo reira ka whakamoemiti oku ngutu ki a koe.
4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.
Ina, ka whakapai ahau ki a koe i ahau ano e ora nei; ka totoro atu oku ringa i runga i tou ingoa.
5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.
Ka makona toku wairua, ano i te hinu wheua, i te ngako, a ka hari oku ngutu ina whakamoemiti toku mangai ki a koe.
6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.
Ina mahara ahau ki a koe i runga i toku moenga, ina whakaaro ki a koe i nga mataaratanga o te po.
7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.
Ko koe hoki toku kaiawhina: na ka hari ahau ki te taumarumarutanga iho o ou pakau.
8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.
Piri tonu toku wairua ki a koe: e tautoko ake ana tou matau i ahau.
9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.
Ko te hunga e whai ana i toku wairua kia whakangaromia, ka riro ratou ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua.
10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.
Ka tukua atu ratou ki te kaha o te hoari: hei wahi ratou ma nga pokiha.
11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped!
Tena ko te kingi, ka hari ia ki te Atua; ka whakamanamana nga tangata katoa ko ia nei ta ratou oati: a ka purua te mangai o te hunga katoa e korero teka ana.
