1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.
Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh, send out your light and your truth.
Let them lead me.
Let them bring me to your holy hill,
to your tents.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God, my exceeding joy.
I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him:
my Savior, my helper, and my God.

Te Īnoi a tētahi e Noho Manene ana
1 E te Atua, whakaritea tāku whakawā,
whakatikaia āku kōrero ki te iwi atuakore;
whakaorangia ahau
i te tangata tinihanga e mahi nei i te hē.
2 Ko koe hoki te Atua o tōku kaha;
he aha ahau ka pangā nei e koe?
He aha ahau ka haere pōuri ai
i te tūkino a te hoariri?
3 Tukua mai tōu mārama me tōu pono
hei ārahi i ahau;
hei kawe i ahau ki tōu maunga tapu,
ki ōu tapenākara.
4 Ā, ka haere ahau ki te āta a te Atua,
ki te Atua, ki tōku hari nui;
āe, ka whakamoemiti ki a koe,
e te Atua, e tōku Atua, i runga i te hāpa.
5 He aha koe i piko ai, e tōku wairua?
He aha koe i ohorere ai i roto i ahau?
Tūmanako ki te Atua;
tērā anō ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia,
ko te ora nei ia o tōku mata, ko tōku Atua.
