Salmos 16

A Poem by David.

1 Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord.

Apart from you I have no good thing."

3 As for the saints who are in the earth,

they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.

Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,

nor take their names on my lips.

5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup.

You made my lot secure.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel.

Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

8 I have set Yahweh always before me.

Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.

My body shall also dwell in safety.

10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,*16:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.

neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

11 You will show me the path of life.

In your presence is fullness of joy.

In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

He Īnoi Whakawhirinaki

He Mikitama nā Rāwiri.

1 Tiakina ahau, e te Atua;

e whakawhirinaki nei hoki ahau ki a koe.

2 Kua mea ahau ki a Ihowā, "Ko koe tōku Ariki,

kāhore ōku pai i tua atu i a koe."

3 Ko te hunga tapu i runga i te whenua,

te hunga pai rawa, kua ahu katoa tōku āhuareka ki a rātou.

4 Ka whakanuia ngā mamae o te hunga e whakawhiti ana i a Ihowā mō tētahi atua kē;

e kore e ringihia e ahau ā rātou ringihanga toto,

e kore anō ō rātou ingoa e whakahuatia e ōku ngutu.

5 Ko Ihowā te wāhi i wehea mai mōku, tāku kapu hoki;

ko koe te kaiwhakapūmau i te wāhanga māku.

6 Kua takoto ōku aho ki ngā wāhi āhuareka,

inā, he wāhi pai tōku.

7 Ka whakapaingia e ahau a Ihowā, i whakamahara nei i ahau;

ka whakaako anō hoki ōku whatumanawa i ahau i te pō.

8 Kua waiho tonu e ahau a Ihowā ki tōku aroaro;

kei tōku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria.

9 Koia i koa ai tōku ngākau, i whakamanamana ai tōku korōria,

i takoto tūmanako ai anō ōku kikokiko.

10 Nō te mea e kore e waiho e koe tōku wairua i te rēinga,

e kore e tukua tāu Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau.

11 Ka whakakitea mai e koe ki ahau te huarahi o te ora;

kei tōu aroaro te hari nui,

kei tōu matau ngā āhuareka e kore e mutu.
