Psalms 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:2 E whakaaro kino nei i o ratou ngakau: e whakamine nei i a ratou i nga wa katoa ki te whawhai.3 Kua whakakoia to ratou arero, ano he nakahi: kei raro i o ratou ngutu te wai whakamate o te neke. (Hera.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.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.6 I mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Atua: whakarongo, e Ihowa, ki toku reo inoi.7 E Ihowa, e te Ariki, e te kaha o toku whakaoranga, nau i hipoki toku upoko i te ra o te tatauranga.

8 ¶ Aua e whakaaetia, e Ihowa, nga hiahia o te tangata kino: kei taea tona whakaaro koroke; kei whakakake ratou. (Hera.9 Tena ko te upoko o te hunga e whakapae nei i ahau, kia hipokina ratou e te kino o o ratou ngutu.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.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.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.13 He pono ka whakawhetai te hunga pai ki tou ingoa: ka noho te hunga tika ki tou aroaro.
