Salmos 56

He Īnoi mō te Whakawhirinaki ki te Atua

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Ionata Ēreme Rehokime. Nā Rāwiri. He Mikitama, i a ia ka mau i ngā Pirihitini ki Kāta.

1 Tohungia ahau e te Atua, ka horomia hoki ahau e te tangata;

e tūkino ana ia ki ahau i te rā roa nei,

i a ia e ngangare tonu nei.

2 E whai ana ōku hoariri i te rā roa nei, kia horomia ahau;

he tokomaha nei hoki e whakahī ana,

e whawhai mai ana ki ahau.

3 Ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a koe

i te wā e mataku ai ahau.

4 Mā te Atua ahau ka whakamoemiti ki tāna kupu;

e whakawhirinaki ana ahau ki te Atua, e kore ahau e wehi.

He aha tā te kikokiko e mea ai ki ahau?

5 E whakariroia kētia ana e rātou āku kupu i ngā rā katoa;

heoi anō tā rātou e whakaaro ai ko te kino mōku.

6 E huihui ana rātou, e piri ana;

e titiro matatau ana ki ōku hīkoinga,

i a rātou e whanga nei ki tōku wairua.

7 Mā te hē koia rātou ka mawhiti ai?

Kia riri koe, e te Atua, whakatakā iho hoki ngā iwi.

8 E taua ana e koe ōku kōpikopikotanga;

rongoātia ōku roimata ki roto ki tāu ipu;

kāhore ianei i tāu pukapuka?

9 I te rā e karanga ai ahau ka hoki whakamuri ōku hoariri;

e mātau ana ahau ki tēnei, kei ahau hoki te Atua.

10 Mā te Atua ahau ka whakamoemiti ai ki tāna kupu;

mā Ihowā ahau ka whakamoemiti ai ki tāna kupu.

11 E whakawhirinaki ana ahau ki te Atua; e kore ahau e wehi.

He aha tā te tangata e mea ai ki ahau?

12 Kei ahau ngā kupu taurangi ki a koe, e te Atua;

me tuku e ahau ngā whakamoemiti ki a koe.

13 Nāu hoki tōku wairua i whakaora kei mate;

e kore ianei koe e whakaū i ōku waewae kei paheke,

kia haere ai ahau i te aroaro o te Atua

i roto i te mārama o te hunga ora.

For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.

1 Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up:

All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long;

For they are many that fight proudly against me.

3 What time I am afraid,

I will put my trust in thee.

4 In God (I will praise his word),

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can flesh do unto me?

5 All the day long they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

Even as they have waited for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity?

In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Thou numberest my wanderings:

Put thou my tears into thy bottle;

Are they not in thy book?

9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call:

This I know, that God is for me.

10 In God (I will praise his word),

In Jehovah (I will praise his word),

11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can man do unto me?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God:

I will render thank-offerings unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death:

Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling,

That I may walk before God

In the light of the living?
