Waiata 62
1 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.
To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.
2 Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki, e kore e nui toku ngaueuetanga.
Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
3 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 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)

6 Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki; e kore ahau e whakangaueuetia.
Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.
7 Kei te Atua te whakaoranga moku, te kororia ano moku; kei te Atua te kohatu o toku kaha, toku piringa.
On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
8 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)
Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 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.
Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.
10 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.
Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.
11 Kotahi korerotanga a te Atua, ka rua oku rongonga i tenei, no te Atua te kaha.
Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'
12 Nau ano, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu: rite tonu hoki ki tana mahi tau utu ki te tangata.
And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
