1 M y soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ki a Ierutonu. He himene na Rawiri. Ko te Atua anake taku e tatari nei: kei a ia te whakaoranga moku.

2 H e only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki, e kore e nui toku ngaueuetanga.

3 H ow long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 T hey have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.

Ko ia anake toku kohatu, toku whakaoranga, toku pa hoki; e kore ahau e whakangaueuetia.

7 O n God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Kei te Atua te whakaoranga moku, te kororia ano moku; kei te Atua te kohatu o toku kaha, toku piringa.

8 T rust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tukino, kei wairangi hoki ki te pahua: ki te tini haere nga taonga, kei whakamanawa to koutou ngakau ki reira.

11 O nce God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

Kotahi korerotanga a te Atua, ka rua oku rongonga i tenei, no te Atua te kaha.

12 A nd lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.

Nau ano, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu: rite tonu hoki ki tana mahi tau utu ki te tangata.
