Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Ko te tangata kei te wahi ngaro o te Runga Rawa tona kainga, ka noho ia i raro i te taumarumarutanga o te Kaha Rawa.

2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Ka kiia e ahau a Ihowa, Ko ia toku piringa, toku pa, toku Atua, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

Mana hoki koe e whakaora i te mahanga a te kaihopu manu, i te mate nanakia.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

Ka hipokina koe e ia ki ona hou, a ka piri koe ki raro i ona pakau: ko tona pono hei whakangungu rakau, hei puapua mou.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;

E kore koe e wehi i te mea whakamataku i te po: i te pere e rere ana i te awatea.

6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noon-day.

I te mate uruta e rere ana i te pouri: i te whakangaromanga e whakangaro ana i te poutumarotanga.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

He mano te hinga ki tou taha, tekau hoki nga mano ki tou matau; otiia e kore e tata ki a koe.

8 Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Ka titiro kau ou kanohi, ka matakitaki ki te utu mo te hunga kino.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD [who is] my refuge, [even] the Most High, thy habitation;

Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, toku piranga! kua waiho e koe te Runga Rawa hei nohoanga mou:

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Kahore he kino e pa ki a koe, kahore ano he whiu e tata ki tou teneti.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Ka korerotia iho hoki koe e ia ki ana anahera kia tiakina koe i ou ara katoa.

12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Ma ratou koe e hiki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Ka haere koe i runga i te raiona, i te neke: ka takahia e koe ki raro te kuao raiona me te nakahi.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Ka whakaora ahau i a ia, mona i aroha ki ahau; maku ia e whakateitei ake, mona i matau ki toku ingoa.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

Ka karanga ia ki ahau, a ka whakahoki kupu ahau ki a ia: ka tata ahau ki a ia i te wa o te he; maku ia e whakaora, maku ano ia e whakahonore.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Ka whakaroaina e ahau ona ra, a na noa ia: ka whakakitea hoki taku whakaoranga ki a ia.
