Psalms 108
1 A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
He waiata, he himene na Rawiri. Pumau tonu toku ngakau, e te Atua; ka waiata ahau, ae ra, ka himene ahau, me toku kororia ano.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
E ara, e te hatere, e te hapa: ka ara wawe ano ahau.
3 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.
Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i waenganui i nga iwi: ka himene ki a koe i waenganui i nga tauiwi.
4 For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
He nui atu hoki tau mahi tohu i nga rangi, a ko tou pono tutuki noa atu ki nga kapua.
5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!
Kia whakanuia koe, e te Atua, ki runga atu i nga rangi: hei runga atu i te whenua katoa tou kororia.
6 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
Kia puta tau i aroha ai, ma tou ringa matau matou e whakaora, a whakahokia mai he kupu ki a matou.
7 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu: Ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe i te raorao o Hukota.
8 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
Noku Kireara; noku a Manahi; ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku hepeta.
9 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: ka whakamanamana ahau ki Pirihitia.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa tuwatawata? Ko wai nana ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
11 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
He teka ianei kua panga matou e koe, e te Atua? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me o matou taua.
12 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
Homai ki a matou he awhina ki te hoariri: he teka kau noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
13 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
