Salmos 5

He Īnoi mō te Whakangungu

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 Tahuri tōu taringa, e Ihowā, ki āku kupu,

kia mōhio koe ki tōku whakaaroaronga.

2 Whakarongo ki te reo o tāku karanga,

e tōku Kīngi, e tōku Atua,

he īnoi hoki tāku ki a koe.

3 E rongo koe ki tōku reo, e Ihowā, i te ata;

i te ata ka whakatikaia atu e ahau tāku īnoi ki a koe,

ā, ka titiro matatau atu.

4 Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara,

e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.

5 E kore te hunga wairangi e tū ki tōu aroaro;

e kinongia ana e koe ngā kaimahi katoa i te kino.

6 E ngaro i a koe te hunga kōrero teka;

e whakarihariha ana a Ihowā

ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hīanga.

7 Ko ahau ia ka haere i runga i te tini

o āu atawhai ki tōu whare;

ka koropiko ki te ritenga o tāu temepara tapu,

me te wehi anō ki a koe.

8 E Ihowā, ārahina ahau i runga i tōu tika,

he hoariri hoki ōku;

whakatikaia tāu ara i mua i ahau.

9 Kāhore hoki he pono i ō rātou māngai;

he kino kau a roto i a rātou;

he urupā puare noa ō rātou korokoro;

e patipati ana ō rātou arero.

10 Whakataua te hara ki a rātou, e te Atua;

kia hinga rātou i ō rātou whakaaro.

Peia atu rātou me ā rātou tini mahi tutū;

mō rātou i whakakeke ki a koe.

11 Nā, kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe.

Kia hāmama tonu rātou i te koa,

mō rātou e hīpokina nei e koe;

ā, kia whakamanamana ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki tōu ingoa.

12 Nō te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowā, te tangata tika;

me he whakangungu rākau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.

For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah,

Consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;

For unto thee do I pray.

3 O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;

In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:

Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:

Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:

In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;

Make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;

Their inward part is very wickedness;

Their throat is an open sepulchre;

They flatter with their tongue.

10 Hold them guilty, O God;

Let them fall by their own counsels;

Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;

For they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice,

Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:

Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou wilt bless the righteous;

O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
