1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, {if} thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.4 Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.5 For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.6 Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.8 Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.

1 Na Rawiri. Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, e toku kohatu, kaua e wahangu ki ahau; ki te wahangu hoki koe ki ahau, ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.2 Whakarongo ki toku reo inoi, ua karanga ahau ki a koe, ina totoro oku ringa ki tou ahurewa tapu.3 Kaua ahau e kumea tahitia me te hunga he; me nga kaimahi i te kino, he marie a ratou kupu ki o ratou hoa, he kino ia kei roto i o ratou ngakau.4 Kia rite ki a ratou mahi tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, ki te kino ano o a ratou hanga: kia rite ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, whakahokia ta ratou utu ki a ratou.5 Na kahore nei ratou e whakaaro ki nga mahi a Ihowa, ki nga meatanga a ona ringa, mo reira ka whakahoroa iho ratou e ia, e kore ano e whakaturia ake.6 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa mona i whakarongo mai ki toku reo inoi.7 Ko Ihowa toku kaha, toku whakangungu rakau; i whakawhirinaki toku ngakau ki a ia, a awhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai toku ngakau, i whakamoemiti ai hoki taku waiata ki a ia.8 Ko Ihowa to ratou kaha, ko ia ano te kaha whakaora o tana tangata i whakawahi ai.9 Whakaorangia tau iwi, manaakitia tou kainga tupu: whangainga ratou, whakaarahia ake ake.
