Waiata 64

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Whakarongo ki toku reo, e te Atua, ina inoi atu ahau: tiakina toku ora i te wehi o te hoariri.

`In Ebrewe thus, To the victorie, the salm of Dauid. `In Jerom `thus, To the ouercomer, the song of Dauid. God, here thou my preier, whanne Y biseche; delyuere thou my soule fro the drede of the enemy.

2 Huna ahau i te whakaaro ngaro o te hunga kino, i te ngangau a nga kaimahi i te he;

Thou hast defendid me fro the couent of yuele doers; fro the multitude of hem that worchen wickidnesse.

3 Kua whakakoi nei i o ratou arero, ano he hoari, kua whakatika nei i a ratou pere, ara i nga kupu kikino,

For thei scharpiden her tungis as a swerd, thei benten a bowe, a bittir thing;

4 Hei koperenga pukutanga ma ratou ki te tangata tika; kitea rawatia ake kua kopere ki a ia, kahore hoki he wehi.

for to schete in priuetees hym that is vnwemmed.

5 E whakamaia ana ratou i a ratou ano ki te mea kino; e runanga ana kia whakatakotoria pukutia he rore, e mea ana, Ko wai e kite i a ratou?

Sodeynli thei schulen schete hym, and thei schulen not drede; thei maden stidefast to hem silf a wickid word. Thei telden, that thei schulden hide snaris; thei seiden, Who schal se hem?

6 E rapu hara ana ratou; e mea ana, Kua ata rapu marie tatou: taea noatia te hohonutanga o te whakaaro o ia tangata, a ko te ngakau he hohonu.

Thei souyten wickidnessis; thei souyten, and failiden in sekinge. A man neiyhe to deep herte;

7 Ma te Atua ia e kopere he pere ki a ratou kitea rawatia ake kua tu ratou.

and God schal be enhaunsid. The arowis of `litle men ben maad the woundis of hem;

8 Heoi ka meinga ratou kia tapatu, ko to ratou arero ake ano ka tu atu ki a ratou; a ka ruru i to ratou matenga te hunga katoa e kite i a ratou.

and the tungis of hem ben maad sijk ayens hem. Alle men ben disturblid, that sien hem;

9 Ka wehi ano hoki nga tangata katoa, ka whakapuaki i te mahi a te Atua: ka ata maharatia hoki e ratou tana mahi.

and ech man dredde. And thei telden the werkis of God; and vndurstoden the dedis of God.

10 Ka koa te tangata tika ki a Ihowa, ka whakawhirinaki hoki ki a ia: ka whakamanamana ano te hunga ngakau tika katoa.

The iust man schal be glad in the Lord, and schal hope in hym; and alle men of riytful herte schulen be preisid.
