Salmos 70

He Īnoi mō te Whakaoranga i ngā Hoariri

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nā Rāwiri, hei whakamahara.

1 Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau;

e Ihowā, hohoro ki te āwhina i ahau.

2 Kia whakamā, kia pororaru ngātahi te hunga

e rapu ana i tōku wairua.

Kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakamā te hunga

e hiahia ana kia hē ahau.

3 Kia whakahokia ki muri mō tō rātou whakamā,

te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, "Ha, ha!"

4 Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe

te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe.

Kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tāu whakaoranga,

"Kia whakanuia te Atua!"

5 Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore;

hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau.

Ko koe tōku āwhina, tōku kaiwhakaora;

kaua rā e whakaroa, e Ihowā.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me;

Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded

That seek after my soul:

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor

That delight in my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame

That say, Aha, aha.

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;

And let such as love thy salvation say continually,

Let God be magnified.

5 But I am poor and needy;

Make haste unto me, O God:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
