1 In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.
2 Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
3 Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.
4 O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
6 You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
7 I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
9 Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.
10 For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,
11 Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.
12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
13 Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.
14 But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.
15 My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
16 I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
17 O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.
18 Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.
19 Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
20 You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
21 You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.
22 I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
24 My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
1 Ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki ai, e Ihowa: kei whakama ahau ake ake.
2 Whakaorangia ahau, i runga i tou tika, kia mawhiti ano ahau: tahuri mai tou taringa ki ahau, whakaorangia hoki ahau.
3 Kia ai koe hei teko e noho ai ahau, hei hokihokinga tonutanga atu moku: kua kiia iho ahau e koe kia whakaorangia: ko koe nei hoki toku kohatu, toku pourewa.
4 Whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua, i te ringa o te tangata kino, i te ringa o te whanoke, o te nanakia.
5 Ko koe nei hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taku e tumanako atu nei, taku e whakawhirinaki nei no toku tamarikitanga ake ano.
6 Nau ahau i tautoko ake no te kopu mai ano; nau ahau i tango mai i roto i nga whekau o toku whaea; ko koe taku e whakamoemiti tonu ai.
7 He miharotanga ahau na te tini; ko koe ia toku piringa kaha.
8 Kia ki toku mangai i te whakamoemiti ki a koe, i tou honore i te roa o te ra.
9 Kaua ahau e panga a te wa o te koroheketanga, kaua ahau e whakarerea ina hemo toku kaha.
10 E korerotia ana hoki ahau e oku hoariri, a e runanga tahi ana te hunga e whanga ana ki toku wairua.
11 E mea ana, Kua whakarerea ia e te Atua: whaia, hopukia; kahore hoki tetahi hei whakaora.
12 E te Atua, kei matara atu koe i ahau: e toku Atua, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.
13 Kia whakama, kia pau nga hoariri o toku wairua: kia hipokina ki te tawai, ki te whakama, te hunga e rapu ana i te he moku.
14 Ko ahau ia, ka tumanako tonu: ka hono tonu ano te whakamoemiti ki a koe.
15 Ma toku mangai e whakakite tou tika, tau whakaoranga i te roa o te ra; kahore hoki ahau e mohio e hia ranei.
16 Ka haere ahau i runga i te kaha o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ka whakahuatia e ahau tou tika, tou anake.
17 E te Atua, he mea whakaako ahau nau, no toku tamarikitanga ake; a he whakapuaki taku i au mahi whakamiharo a mohoa noa nei.
18 Na kaua ahau e whakarerea, e te Atua, a koroheke noa, hina noa ahau, kia whakakitea ra ano e ahau tou kaha ki tenei whakatupuranga, tou nui ki nga tangata katoa e puta mai a mua.
19 Kei runga rawa ano tou tika, e te Atua, he nui nei hoki au mahi: e te Atua, ko wai te rite ki a koe?
20 He nui, he kino nga pouritanga ngakau i whakakitea mai e koe ki a matou; tera ano koe ka whakahauora i a matou, ka whakahoki ake ano i a matou i nga wahi hohonu o te whenua.
21 Whakaraneatia e koe toku nui, a tahuri mai ano ka whakamarie i ahau.
22 Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te hatere, ara ki tou pono, e toku Atua: ka himene ahau ki a koe i runga i te hapa, e te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
23 Ka tino hari oku ngutu ua himene ahau ki a koe: me toku wairua ano i hokona nei e koe.
24 Ka korerotia hoki e toku arero tou tika i te roa o te ra: kua whakama nei hoki, kua numinumi kau te hunga i rapu i te he moku.
