Salmos 91

Ko te Atua tō tātou Piringa

1 Ko te tangata kei te wāhi ngaro o te Runga Rawa tōna kāinga,

ka noho ia i raro i te taumarumarutanga o te Kaha Rawa.

2 Ka kīia e ahau a Ihowā, "Ko ia tōku piringa, tōku pā, tōku Atua,

ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia."

3 Māna hoki koe e whakaora i te māhanga a te kaihopu manu,

i te mate nanakia.

4 Ka hīpokina koe e ia ki ōna hou,

ā, ka piri koe ki raro i ōna pākau;

ko tōna pono hei whakangungu rākau, hei puapua mōu.

5 E kore koe e wehi i te mea whakamataku i te pō;

i te pere e rere ana i te awatea.

6 I te mate urutā e rere ana i te pōuri;

i te whakangaromanga e whakangaro ana i te poutūmārōtanga.

7 He mano te hinga ki tōu taha,

tekau hoki ngā mano ki tōu matau;

otiia e kore e tata ki a koe.

8 Ka titiro kau ōu kanohi,

ka mātakitaki ki te utu mō te hunga kino.

9 Ko koe hoki, e Ihowā, tōku piringa!

Kua waiho e koe te Runga Rawa hei nohoanga mōu;

10 kāhore he kino e pā ki a koe,

kāhore anō he whiu e tata ki tōu tēneti.

11 Ka kōrerotia iho hoki koe e ia

ki āna anahera kia tiakina koe i ōu ara katoa.

12 Mā rātou koe e hiki ake ki ō rātou ringa,

kei tūtuki tōu waewae ki te kōhatu.

13 Ka haere koe i runga i te raiona, i te neke;

ka takahia e koe ki raro te kūao raiona me te nākahi.

14 "Ka whakaora ahau i a ia, mōna i aroha ki ahau;

māku ia e whakateitei ake, mōna i mātau ki tōku ingoa.

15 Ka karanga ia ki ahau, ā, ka whakahoki kupu ahau ki a ia;

ka tata ahau ki a ia i te wā o te hē;

māku ia e whakaora, māku anō ia e whakahōnore.

16 Ka whakaroaina e ahau ōna rā, ā, nā noa ia;

ka whakakitea hoki tāku whakaoranga ki a ia."

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust.

3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For he will give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble:

I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,

And show him my salvation.
