Psalms 21
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.
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 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld 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 You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on 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 has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.
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 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.
He nui tona kororia i tau whakaoranga: uhia ana ia e koe ki te honore, ki te kororia.
6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.
Nau hoki ia i mea kia manaakitia rawatia ake ake: whakaharitia ana ia e koe ki te koa o tou mata.
7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.
E whakawhirinaki ana hoki te kingi ki a Ihowa; e kore ano ia e whakangaueuetia, he atawhai hoki no te Runga Rawa.
8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.
Ka mau i tou ringa ou hoariri katoa: ka mau i tou ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.
9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours 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 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons 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 stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,
He kino hoki ta ratou i whakatakoto ai mou, he mahi nanakia ta ratou i whakaaro ai, kihai nei i taea e ratou.
12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings 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 exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowa, i runga i tou kaha: ka waiata matou, ka himene ki tou nui.
