Salmos 64

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.

Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,

from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword,

and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes.

They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans.

They talk about laying snares secretly.

They say, "Who will see them?"

6 They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!"

Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

7 But God will shoot at them.

They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them.

All who see them will shake their heads.

9 All mankind shall be afraid.

They shall declare the work of God,

and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

10 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh,

and shall take refuge in him.

All the upright in heart shall praise him!

He Īnoi mō te Whakangungu mai i ngā Hoariri

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 Whakarongo ki tōku reo, e te Atua, ina īnoi atu ahau;

tiakina tōku ora i te wehi o te hoariri.

2 Hunā ahau i te whakaaro ngaro o te hunga kino,

i te ngangau a ngā kaimahi i te hē.

3 Kua whakakoi nei i ō rātou arero,

ānō he hoari,

kua whakatika nei i ā rātou pere,

arā i ngā kupu kikino.

4 Hei kōperenga pukutanga mā rātou ki te tangata tika;

kitea rawatia ake kua kōpere ki a ia, kāhore hoki he wehi.

5 E whakamāia ana rātou i a rātou anō ki te mea kino;

e rūnanga ana kia whakatakotoria pukutia he rore,

e mea ana, "Ko wai e kite i a rātou?"

6 E rapu hara ana rātou; e mea ana,

"Kua āta rapu mārie tātou."

Taea noatia te hōhonutanga o te whakaaro o ia tangata,

ā, ko te ngākau he hōhonu.

7 Mā te Atua ia e kōpere he pere ki a rātou

kitea rawatia ake kua tū rātou.

8 Heoi, ka meinga rātou kia tapatu,

ko tō rātou arero ake anō ka tū atu ki a rātou;

ā, ka rūrū i tō rātou mātenga te hunga katoa e kite i a rātou.

9 Ka wehi anō hoki ngā tāngata katoa,

ka whakapuaki i te mahi a te Atua;

ka āta maharatia hoki e rātou tāna mahi.

10 Ka koa te tangata tika ki a Ihowā,

ka whakawhirinaki hoki ki a ia;

ka whakamanamana anō te hunga ngākau tika katoa.
