Psalms 5
1 To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He himene na Rawiri. Tahuri tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki aku kupu, kia mohio koe ki toku whakaaroaronga.
2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
Whakarongo ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi hoki taku ki a koe.
3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
E rongo koe ki toku reo, e Ihowa, i te ata; i te ata ka whakatikaia atu e ahau taku inoi ki a koe, a ka titiro matatau atu.
4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara, e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.
5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
E kore te hunga wairangi e tu ki tou aroaro: e kinongia ana e koe nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.
6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
E ngaro i a koe te hunga korero teka; e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hianga.
7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
Ko ahau ia ka haere i runga i te tini o au atawhai ki tou whare: ka koropiko ki te ritenga o tau temepara tapu, me te wehi ano ki a koe.
8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
E Ihowa, arahina ahau i runga i tou tika, he hoariri hoki oku; whakatikaia tau ara i mua i ahau.
9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
Kahore hoki he pono i o ratou mangai; he kino kau a roto i a ratou; he urupa puare noa o ratou korokoro; e patipati ana o ratou arero.
10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
Whakataua te hara ki a ratou, e te Atua; kia hinga ratou i o ratou whakaaro; peia atu ratou me a ratou tini mahi tutu; mo ratou i whakakeke ki a koe.
11 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
Na kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe: kia hamama tonu ratou i te koa, mo ratou e hipokina nei e koe; a kia whakamanamana ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.
12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
No te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowa, te tangata tika; me he whakangungu rakau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.
