Waiata 140

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau, e Ihowa, i te tangata kino: araia atu i ahau te tangata tutu:

To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.

2 E whakaaro kino nei i o ratou ngakau: e whakamine nei i a ratou i nga wa katoa ki te whawhai.

Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.

3 Kua whakakoia to ratou arero, ano he nakahi: kei raro i o ratou ngutu te wai whakamate o te neke. (Hera)

Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.

4 Tiakina ahau, e Ihowa, i nga ringa o te hunga kino: araia atu i ahau te tangata tutu, kua mea nei kia tutea oku hikoinga.

Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;

5 Kua huna e te hunga whakakake te mahanga moku, me nga aho; kua horahia e ratou he kupenga ki te taha o te ara: kua whakapikoa e ratou he rore moku. (Hera)

proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.

6 I mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Atua: whakarongo, e Ihowa, ki toku reo inoi.

I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.

7 E Ihowa, e te Ariki, e te kaha o toku whakaoranga, nau i hipoki toku upoko i te ra o te tatauranga.

Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.

8 Aua e whakaaetia, e Ihowa, nga hiahia o te tangata kino: kei taea tona whakaaro koroke; kei whakakake ratou. (Hera)

Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.

9 Tena ko te upoko o te hunga e whakapae nei i ahau, kia hipokina ratou e te kino o o ratou ngutu.

The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.

10 Kia taka he waro mura ki runga ki a ratou: kia panga ratou ki te ahi, ki roto ki nga poka hohonu, kei whakatika ake ano ratou.

Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.

11 E kore te tangata korero kino e whakapumautia ki runga ki te whenua: ma te kino e aruaru te tangata tutu, kia turakina atu ia ki raro.

A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.

12 E matau ana ano ahau ma Ihowa e tohe te whakawa a te tangata e tukinotia ana, te mea hoki e rite ana ma nga rawakore.

I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.

13 He pono ka whakawhetai te hunga pai ki tou ingoa: ka noho te hunga tika ki tou aroaro.

Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
