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.
“To the chief musician upon Nechiloth, a psalm of David.” To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.
2 Whakarongo ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi hoki taku ki a koe.
Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee I pray.
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.
O Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and 1ook up with hope.
4 Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara, e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil cannot abide with thee.
5 E kore te hunga wairangi e tu ki tou aroaro: e kinongia ana e koe nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.
The arrogant cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.
6 E ngaro i a koe te hunga korero teka; e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hianga.
Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: the man of blood and deceit the Lord abhorreth.
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 abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
8 E Ihowa, arahina ahau i runga i tou tika, he hoariri hoki oku; whakatikaia tau ara i mua i ahau.
O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.
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 not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: they flatter with their tongue.
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.
Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
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.
Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.
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 righteous, O Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
