Psalms 108
1 “A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.
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 Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
E ara, e te hatere, e te hapa: ka ara wawe ano ahau.
3 I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee 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 great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.
He nui atu hoki tau mahi tohu i nga rangi, a ko tou pono tutuki noa atu ki nga kapua.
5 Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.
Kia whakanuia koe, e te Atua, ki runga atu i nga rangi: hei runga atu i te whenua katoa tou kororia.
6 In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
Kia puta tau i aroha ai, ma tou ringa matau matou e whakaora, a whakahokia mai he kupu ki a matou.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu: Ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe i te raorao o Hukota.
8 Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.
Noku Kireara; noku a Manahi; ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku hepeta.
9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
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 as far as Edom?
Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa tuwatawata? Ko wai nana ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
11 Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth 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 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
Homai ki a matou he awhina ki te hoariri: he teka kau noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
13 Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
