Waiata 5

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nehiroto. He himene na Rawiri. Tahuri tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki aku kupu, kia mohio koe ki toku whakaaroaronga.

For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

2 Whakarongo ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi hoki taku ki a koe.

Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.

3 E rongo koe ki toku reo, e Ihowa, i te ata; i te ata ka whakatikaia atu e ahau taku inoi ki a koe, a ka titiro matatau atu.

In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.

4 Ehara hoki koe i te Atua e pai ana ki te hara, e kore te kino e noho ki a koe.

For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.

5 E kore te hunga wairangi e tu ki tou aroaro: e kinongia ana e koe nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.

Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

6 E ngaro i a koe te hunga korero teka; e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki te tangata toto, ki te tangata hianga.

You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

7 Ko ahau ia ka haere i runga i te tini o au atawhai ki tou whare: ka koropiko ki te ritenga o tau temepara tapu, me te wehi ano ki a koe.

But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.

8 E Ihowa, arahina ahau i runga i tou tika, he hoariri hoki oku; whakatikaia tau ara i mua i ahau.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.

9 Kahore hoki he pono i o ratou mangai; he kino kau a roto i a ratou; he urupa puare noa o ratou korokoro; e patipati ana o ratou arero.

For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

10 Whakataua te hara ki a ratou, e te Atua; kia hinga ratou i o ratou whakaaro; peia atu ratou me a ratou tini mahi tutu; mo ratou i whakakeke ki a koe.

Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.

11 Na kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe: kia hamama tonu ratou i te koa, mo ratou e hipokina nei e koe; a kia whakamanamana ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.

But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.

12 No te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowa, te tangata tika; me he whakangungu rakau te manako e karapotia ai ia e koe.

For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
