Psalm 70-73
Maori Bible
70 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri, hei whakamahara. Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau: e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.
2 Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.
3 Kia whakahokia ki muri mo to ratou whakama, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.
4 Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia te Atua.
5 Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e Ihowa.
71 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.
72 Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.
2 Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.
3 Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.
4 Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.
5 I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.
6 E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.
7 Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.
8 Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.
9 Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.
10 Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.
11 Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
12 Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.
13 E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.
14 Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.
15 A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.
17 Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.
18 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;
19 Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
20 Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.
73 He himene na Ahapa. He pono, he pai te Atua ki a Iharaira; ki te hunga ngakau ma.
2 Ko ahau ia, wahi iti kua tapepa oku waewae: me i kotahi kua paheke oku takahanga.
3 I hae hoki ahau ki te hunga whakahi, i toku kitenga i te tangata hara e kake ana.
4 Kahore hoki he whakawiringa a te mate i a ratou: he maro ano o ratou uaua.
5 Kahore nga mea whakapouri tangata e pa ki a ratou; kahore ano ratou e whiua tahitia me te mano tangata.
6 Na reira, ano he hei te whakakake e awhi nei i a ratou, ano he kakahu te tutu e hipokina nei ratou.
7 Pupuhi ana o ratou kanohi i te ngako: nui ake nga mea i a ratou i a o ratou ngakau i hiahia ai.
8 E whakahi ana ratou, e korero kino ana mo te whakatoi: kei runga noa ake a ratou korero.
9 Tutuki tonu to ratou mangai ki nga rangi: e kopikopiko ana hoki to ratou arero i runga i te whenua.
10 Koia tona iwi i hoki mai ai ki konei: a e whakawiria ana he wai mo ratou, ki tonu te kapu.
11 E mea ana ratou, Ma te aha e matau ai te Atua? He matauranga koia to te Runga Rawa?
12 Nana, ko te hunga kino tenei, kei runga tonu i te whenua rangatira, e hua ana o ratou taonga.
13 He pono he maumau taku mea i toku ngakau kia ma, taku horoi hoki i oku ringa ki te harakore.
14 E whiua ana hoki ahau i te roa o te ra, e pakia ana i nga ata katoa.
15 Me i ki ahau, Ka penei taku korero; na e tinihanga ana ahau ki te whakatupuranga o au tamariki.
16 I taku meatanga kia matauria tenei, ka kite ahau he mahi whakauaua rawa;
17 Tae noa ahau ki te wahi tapu o te Atua, katahi ahau ka mohio ki to ratou mutunga.
18 He pono i whakaturia ratou e koe ki nga wahi pahekeheke; a whakataka ana e koe ki te ngaromanga.
19 Ano te panga whakareretanga o to ratou hunanga! kua pau rawa i nga wehi.
20 Ka rite ki te rekanga kanohi, ina ara ake te tangata, tau whakahawea ki to ratou ahua, e te Ariki, ina ara ake koe.
21 Na mamae noa iho toku ngakau, a hukihuki ana oku whatumanawa.
22 He whakaarokore hoki ahau, he kuware: me te mea he kirehe ahau i tou aroaro.
23 Ahakoa ra kei a koe tonu ahau; e puritia ana e koe toku ringa matau.
24 Ma tou whakaaro ahau e arahi; muri iho ka riro ahau i a koe ki te kororia.
25 Ko wai hoki toku i te rangi ko koe anake? Kahore atu hoki oku i te whenua e hiahia ai, ko koe anake.
26 Hemo iho oku kikokiko me toku ngakau: ko te Atua ia te kaha o toku ngakau, toku wahi ake ake.
27 Na, ko te hunga e mamao atu ana i a koe ka mate: ka ngaro i a koe te hunga puremu katoa e whakarere nei i a koe.
28 Ko ahau ia, he pai ki ahau te whakatata ki te Atua: kua waiho e ahau te Ariki, a Ihowa, hei whakawhirinakitanga moku, kia whakapuakina ai e ahau au mahi katoa.

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.
1 Hasten, O God, to save me;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.(B)
2 May those who want to take my life(C)
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.(D)
3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(E)
turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you(F)
rejoice and be glad(G) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The Lord is great!”(H)
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;(I)
come quickly to me,(J) O God.
You are my help(K) and my deliverer;(L)
Lord, do not delay.(M)

let me never be put to shame.(P)
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear(Q) to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.(R)
4 Deliver(S) me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,(T)
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.(U)
5 For you have been my hope,(V) Sovereign Lord,

6 From birth(X) I have relied on you;

I will ever praise(Z) you.
7 I have become a sign(AA) to many;
you are my strong refuge.(AB)
8 My mouth(AC) is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor(AD) all day long.
9 Do not cast(AE) me away when I am old;(AF)
do not forsake(AG) me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies(AH) speak against me;
those who wait to kill(AI) me conspire(AJ) together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken(AK) him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue(AL) him.”
12 Do not be far(AM) from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help(AN) me.
13 May my accusers(AO) perish in shame;(AP)
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.(AQ)
14 As for me, I will always have hope;(AR)
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell(AS) of your righteous deeds,(AT)
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.

I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught(AV) me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.(AW)

do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power(AY) to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.(AZ)
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,(BA)
you who have done great things.(BB)
Who is like you, God?(BC)
20 Though you have made me see troubles,(BD)
many and bitter,
you will restore(BE) my life again;
from the depths of the earth(BF)
you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor(BG)
and comfort(BH) me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp(BI)
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,(BJ)
Holy One of Israel.(BK)
23 My lips will shout for joy(BL)
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.(BM)
24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,(BN)
for those who wanted to harm me(BO)
have been put to shame and confusion.(BP)
Psalm 72
Of Solomon.
1 Endow the king with your justice,(BQ) O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.

your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted(BS) among the people
and save the children of the needy;(BT)
may he crush the oppressor.(BU)
5 May he endure[b](BV) as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.(BW)
6 May he be like rain(BX) falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish(BY)
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.
8 May he rule from sea to sea
and from the River[c](BZ) to the ends of the earth.(CA)
9 May the desert tribes bow before him
and his enemies lick the dust.
10 May the kings of Tarshish(CB) and of distant shores(CC)
bring tribute to him.
May the kings of Sheba(CD) and Seba
present him gifts.(CE)
11 May all kings bow down(CF) to him
and all nations serve(CG) him.
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.
13 He will take pity(CH) on the weak and the needy
and save the needy from death.
14 He will rescue(CI) them from oppression and violence,
for precious(CJ) is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live!
May gold from Sheba(CK) be given him.
May people ever pray for him
and bless him all day long.(CL)
16 May grain(CM) abound throughout the land;
on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops(CN) flourish like Lebanon(CO)
and thrive[d] like the grass of the field.(CP)
17 May his name endure forever;(CQ)
may it continue as long as the sun.(CR)
18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,(CT)
who alone does marvelous deeds.(CU)
19 Praise be to his glorious name(CV) forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory.(CW)
Amen and Amen.(CX)
20 This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.(CY)
BOOK III
Psalms 73–89
Psalm 73
A psalm of Asaph.
1 Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.(CZ)
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;(DA)
I had nearly lost my foothold.(DB)
3 For I envied(DC) the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(DD)
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[f]
5 They are free(DE) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(DF) is their necklace;(DG)
they clothe themselves with violence.(DH)
7 From their callous hearts(DI) comes iniquity[g];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(DJ)
with arrogance(DK) they threaten oppression.(DL)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[h]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
13 Surely in vain(DO) I have kept my heart pure
and have washed my hands in innocence.(DP)
14 All day long I have been afflicted,(DQ)
and every morning brings new punishments.
15 If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand(DR) all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary(DS) of God;
then I understood their final destiny.(DT)
18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;(DU)
you cast them down to ruin.(DV)
19 How suddenly(DW) are they destroyed,
completely swept away(DX) by terrors!
20 They are like a dream(DY) when one awakes;(DZ)
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.(EA)
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless(EB) and ignorant;
I was a brute beast(EC) before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.(ED)
24 You guide(EE) me with your counsel,(EF)
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(EG)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(EH)
26 My flesh and my heart(EI) may fail,(EJ)
but God is the strength(EK) of my heart
and my portion(EL) forever.
