Psalms 21
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ka hari te kingi ki tou kaha, e Ihowa; ano te nui o tona whakamanamana ki tau whakaoranga!
2 Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)
Kua homai e koe ki a ia ta tona ngakau i hiahia ai; kihai ano i kaiponuhia e koe ta ona ngutu i inoi ai. (Hera)
3 For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.
Kei mua nei hoki koe i a ia e homai ana i nga manaakitanga o te pai; karaunatia ana e koe tona matenga ki te tino koura.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.
He ora tana i inoi ai i a koe, a kua homai e koe ki a ia, he roa noa atu nga ra ake ake.
5 His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.
He nui tona kororia i tau whakaoranga: uhia ana ia e koe ki te honore, ki te kororia.
6 For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.
Nau hoki ia i mea kia manaakitia rawatia ake ake: whakaharitia ana ia e koe ki te koa o tou mata.
7 Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.
E whakawhirinaki ana hoki te kingi ki a Ihowa; e kore ano ia e whakangaueuetia, he atawhai hoki no te Runga Rawa.
8 Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.
Ka mau i tou ringa ou hoariri katoa: ka mau i tou ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.
9 Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.
Ka meinga ratou e koe, kia rite ki te oumu kapura i te wa e riri ai koe: e horomia ratou e Ihowa ina weriweri ia, a ma te kapura ratou e kai.
10 Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.
Ka whakamotitia e koe o ratou hua i runga i te whenua, o ratou uri i waenganui o nga tama a te tangata.
11 For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.
He kino hoki ta ratou i whakatakoto ai mou, he mahi nanakia ta ratou i whakaaro ai, kihai nei i taea e ratou.
12 Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.
Mo reira ka meinga e koe kia tahuri o ratou tuara, ina whakatihaia e koe au pere i runga i au aho ki o ratou mata.
13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowa, i runga i tou kaha: ka waiata matou, ka himene ki tou nui.
