Salmos 71

1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.

Never let me be disappointed.

2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.

Turn your ear to me, and save me.

3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.

Give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh,

my confidence from my youth.

6 I have relied on you from the womb.

You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.

I will always praise you.

7 I am a marvel to many,

but you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,

with your honor all day long.

9 Don’t reject me in my old age.

Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

10 For my enemies talk about me.

Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

11 saying, "God has forsaken him.

Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

12 God, don’t be far from me.

My God, hurry to help me.

13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.

Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

14 But I will always hope,

and will add to all of your praise.

15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,

and of your salvation all day,

though I don’t know its full measure.

16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh.

I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

17 God, you have taught me from my youth.

Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me,

until I have declared your strength to the next generation,

your might to everyone who is to come.

19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.

You have done great things.

God, who is like you?

20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,

you will let me live.

You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

21 Increase my honor

and comfort me again.

22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.

I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips shall shout for joy!

My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,

for they are disappointed, and they are confounded,

who want to harm me.

He Īnoi a tētahi Koroheke

1 Ko koe tāku e whakawhirinaki ai, e Ihowā;

kei whakamā ahau ake ake.

2 Whakaorangia ahau, i runga i tōu tika, kia mawhiti anō ahau;

tahuri mai tōu taringa ki ahau, whakaorangia hoki ahau.

3 Kia ai koe hei teko e noho ai ahau,

hei hokihokinga tonutanga atu mōku;

kua kīia iho ahau e koe kia whakaorangia,

ko koe nei hoki tōku kōhatu, tōku pourewa.

4 Whakaorangia ahau, e tōku Atua, i te ringa o te tangata kino,

i te ringa o te whanokē, o te nanakia.

5 Ko koe nei hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowā, tāku e tūmanako atu nei,

tāku e whakawhirinaki nei nō tōku tamarikitanga ake anō.

6 Nāu ahau i tautoko ake nō te kōpū mai anō;

nāu ahau i tango mai i roto i ngā whēkau o tōku whaea.

Ko koe tāku e whakamoemiti tonu ai.

7 He mīharotanga ahau nā te tini;

ko koe ia tōku piringa kaha.

8 Kia kī tōku māngai i te whakamoemiti ki a koe,

i tōu hōnore i te roa o te rā.

9 Kaua ahau e pangā ā te wā o te koroheketanga,

kaua ahau e whakarērea ina hemo tōku kaha.

10 E kōrerotia ana hoki ahau e ōku hoariri,

ā, e rūnanga tahi ana te hunga e whanga ana ki tōku wairua.

11 E mea ana, "Kua whakarērea ia e te Atua;

whāia, hopukia;

kāhore hoki tētahi hei whakaora."

12 E te Atua, kei matara atu koe i ahau;

e tōku Atua, hohoro ki te āwhina i ahau.

13 Kia whakamā, kia pau ngā hoariri o tōku wairua;

kia hīpokina ki te tāwai, ki te whakamā,

te hunga e rapu ana i te hē mōku.

14 Ko ahau ia, ka tūmanako tonu;

ka hono tonu anō te whakamoemiti ki a koe.

15 Mā tōku māngai e whakakite tōu tika,

tāu whakaoranga i te roa o te rā;

kāhore hoki ahau e mōhio e hia rānei.

16 Ka haere ahau i runga i te kaha o te Ariki,

o Ihowā, ka whakahuatia e ahau tōu tika, tōu anake.

17 E te Atua, he mea whakaako ahau nāu, nō tōku tamarikitanga ake;

ā, he whakapuaki tāku i āu mahi whakamīharo ā mohoa noa nei.

18 Nā, kaua ahau e whakarērea, e te Atua,

ā koroheke noa, hina noa ahau,

kia whakakitea rā anō e ahau tōu kaha ki tēnei whakatupuranga,

tōu nui ki ngā tāngata katoa e puta mai ā mua.

19 Kei runga rawa anō tōu tika, e te Atua,

he nui nei hoki āu mahi;

e te Atua, ko wai te rite ki a koe?

20 He nui, he kino ngā pōuritanga ngākau i whakakitea mai e koe ki a mātou;

tērā anō koe ka whakahauora i a mātou,

ka whakahoki ake anō i a mātou i ngā wāhi hōhonu o te whenua.

21 Whakaraneatia e koe tōku nui,

ā, tahuri mai anō ka whakamārie i ahau.

22 Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te hātere,

arā ki tōu pono, e tōku Atua;

ka hīmene ahau ki a koe i runga i te hāpa,

e te Mea Tapu o Īharaira.

23 Ka tino hari ōku ngutu ua hīmene ahau ki a koe;

me tōku wairua anō i hokona nei e koe.

24 Ka kōrerotia hoki e tōku arero tōu tika i te roa o te rā;

kua whakamā nei hoki,

kua numinumi kau te hunga i rapu i te hē mōku.
