Waiata 5
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He himene na Rawiri. Tahuri tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki aku kupu, kia mohio koe ki toku whakaaroaronga.
Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
2 Whakarongo ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi hoki taku ki a koe.
Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
3 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.
For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara, e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.
In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 E kore te hunga wairangi e tu ki tou aroaro: e kinongia ana e koe nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 E ngaro i a koe te hunga korero teka; e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hianga.
Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
7 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.
But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
8 E Ihowa, arahina ahau i runga i tou tika, he hoariri hoki oku; whakatikaia tau ara i mua i ahau.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
9 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.
For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.
10 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.
Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
11 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.
But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
12 No te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowa, te tangata tika; me he whakangungu rakau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.
For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
