Salmos 59

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God.

Set me on high from those who rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.

Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.

The mighty gather themselves together against me,

not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.

Rise up, behold, and help me!

5 You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel,

rouse yourself to punish the nations.

Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.

6 They return at evening, howling like dogs,

and prowl around the city.

7 Behold, they spew with their mouth.

Swords are in their lips,

"For", they say, "who hears us?"

8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them.

You scoff at all the nations.

9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,

for God is my high tower.

10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness.

God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget.

Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride,

for the curses and lies which they utter.

13 Consume them in wrath.

Consume them, and they will be no more.

Let them know that God rules in Jacob,

to the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 At evening let them return.

Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

15 They shall wander up and down for food,

and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.

16 But I will sing of your strength.

Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.

For you have been my high tower,

a refuge in the day of my distress.

17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises.

For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

He Īnoi mō te Whakangungu

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Aratakiti. He Mikitama nā Rāwiri, i a Haora i tono tāngata hei tiaki mō te whare, hei whakamate mōna.

1 Whakaorangia ahau, e tōku Atua, i ōku hoariri;

whakateiteitia ake ahau i te hunga e whakatika ana ki ahau.

2 Whakaorangia ahau i ngā kaimahi i te kino;

kia ora ahau i te hunga toto.

3 Kei te whanga nei hoki rātou mō tōku wairua;

e whakamine ana te hunga kaha ki te whawhai ki ahau;

kāhore nei ōku tutū, kāhore ōku hara, e Ihowā.

4 Hore ōku kino, oma ana rātou, kei te takatū;

e ara hei āwhina mōku, titiro mai hoki.

5 Āe rā, maranga, e Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā mano, e te Atua o Īharaira,

tirohia iho ngā tauiwi katoa:

kaua e tohungia tētahi o te hunga kino, e poka kē nei. Hera

6 Ka hoki mai rātou i te ahiahi, kei te tau,

ānō he kurī, taiāwhiotia ana e rātou te pā.

7 Nanā, kei te kūpā ō rātou māngai,

he hoari kei ō rātou ngutu;

ki tā rātou, "Ko wai e rongo?"

8 Ko tāu ia, e Ihowā, he kata ki a rātou;

hei tāwainga māu ngā tauiwi katoa.

9 E tōku kaha, ka tatari ahau ki a koe;

ko te Atua hoki tōku pā.

10 Kei mua i ahau tōku Atua aroha;

mā te Atua ahau ka kite i tāku i hiahia ai ki ōku hoariri.

11 Kaua rātou e whakamatea, kei wareware tōku iwi;

kia whakamararatia rātou e tōu kaha; whakatakā iho rātou,

e te Ariki, e tō mātou whakangungu rākau.

12 Mō te hara o tō rātou māngai,

mō ngā kupu a ō rātou ngutu,

hopukia rātou i runga i tō rātou whakakake,

mō tā rātou kōrero, he kanga, he teka.

13 Whakamōtītia i runga i te riri,

kia kāhore ai rātou;

ā, kia mātau rātou ko te Atua te Kāwana o Hākopa

puta noa ki ngā pito o te whenua. Hera

14 I te ahiahi tukua rātou kia hoki,

tukua rātou kia tau, ānō he kurī,

kia taiāwhio rātou i te pā.

15 Ka kōpikopiko noa rātou ki te rapu kai,

ā, ka tauwhanga i te pō roa ina kore rātou e mākona.

16 Ko ahau ia, ka waiatatia e ahau tōu kaha;

āe, i te ata ka hāmamatia e ahau tāu mahi tohu.

Ko koe hoki tōku pā,

tōku piringa i te rā o tōku pōuri.

17 Ka hīmene ahau ki a koe, e tōku kaha;

ko te Atua nei hoki tōku pā,

tōku Atua aroha.
