1 He himene na Rawiri, i tona omanga atu i tana tama i a Apoharama. E Ihowa, ano te tini o oku hoariri, he tokomaha te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.2 He tokomaha te mea ana ki toku wairua, hore rawa he whakaoranga mona i te Atua. (Hera.3 Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, hei whakangungu rakau moku, hei kororia moku, hei kaiwhakaara i toku matenga.4 I karanga toku reo ki a Ihowa: a whakahoki kupu mai ana ia ki ahau i tona maunga tapu. (Hera.5 I takoto ahau, i moe; i ara ake ano; na Ihowa hoki ahau i whakamau ake.6 E kore ahau e mataku i nga mano tini o te iwi, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau karopoti noa.7 Whakatika, e Ihowa; whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua: nau hoki i patu te kauae o oku hoariri katoa; mangungu noa i a koe nga niho o te hunga kino.8 Na Ihowa te whakaoranga: kei runga i tau iwi tau manaaki.

1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.2 \3:1\Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.3 \3:2\Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)4 \3:3\But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.5 \3:4\I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)6 \3:5\I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.7 \3:6\I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.8 \3:7\Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.9 \3:8\Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)
