Psalms 62
1 For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ki a Ierutonu. He himene na Rawiri. Ko te Atua anake taku e tatari nei: kei a ia te whakaoranga moku.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki, e kore e nui toku ngaueuetanga.
3 How long, all of you, will you attack a man, that you may tip him over like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?
Kia pehea te roa o ta koutou tatau ki te tangata, kia whakamatea ai e koutou, e koutou katoa, ka rite ki te taiepa e tungou ana, ki te wawa ka tata te hinga?
4 They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position; they love to tell lies; they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him. (Selah)
Heoi ano ta ratou e runanga ai ko te turaki i a ia i tona wahi teitei: e ahuareka ana ki te teka; e manaaki ana o ratou mangai, a e kanga ana a roto i a ratou. (Hera)
5 I wait in silence for God alone; for my hope is set on him.
Tatari, e toku wairua, ki te Atua anaki; ko ia taku e tumanako nei.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.
Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki; e kore ahau e whakangaueuetia.
7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
Kei te Atua te whakaoranga moku, te kororia ano moku; kei te Atua te kohatu o toku kaha, toku piringa.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Whakawhirinaki ki a ia i nga wa katoa, e te iwi, ringihia to koutou ngakau ki tona aroaro: hei piringa mo tatou te Atua (Hera)
9 Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie; they will weigh lightly in the scales; weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.
He pono he mea memeha noa nga ware, he teka noa nga rangatira; ki te paunatia ratou, mama noa ake ratou tahi i te horihori.
10 Do not trust in oppression or robbery; and do not hope uselessly in riches, for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.
Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tukino, kei wairangi hoki ki te pahua: ki te tini haere nga taonga, kei whakamanawa to koutou ngakau ki reira.
11 God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: power belongs to God.
Kotahi korerotanga a te Atua, ka rua oku rongonga i tenei, no te Atua te kaha.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness, for you pay back every person for what he has done.
Nau ano, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu: rite tonu hoki ki tana mahi tau utu ki te tangata.
