1 L ord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

He himene na Rawiri, i tona omanga atu i tana tama i a Apoharama. E Ihowa, ano te tini o oku hoariri, he tokomaha te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.

2 M any are they who say of me, “ There is no help for him in God.” Selah

He tokomaha te mea ana ki toku wairua, hore rawa he whakaoranga mona i te Atua. (Hera.

3 B ut You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, hei whakangungu rakau moku, hei kororia moku, hei kaiwhakaara i toku matenga.

4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

I karanga toku reo ki a Ihowa: a whakahoki kupu mai ana ia ki ahau i tona maunga tapu. (Hera.

5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

I takoto ahau, i moe; i ara ake ano; na Ihowa hoki ahau i whakamau ake.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.

E kore ahau e mataku i nga mano tini o te iwi, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau karopoti noa.

7 A rise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Whakatika, e Ihowa; whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua: nau hoki i patu te kauae o oku hoariri katoa; mangungu noa i a koe nga niho o te hunga kino.

8 S alvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah

Na Ihowa te whakaoranga: kei runga i tau iwi tau manaaki. (Hera.
