Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Muturapena. He himene na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, ka korerotia e ahau au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe, ka himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
Nau hoki i whakatika aku korero me toku whakawa; i runga koe i te torona e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Kua whakatupehupehu koe ki nga tauiwi, huna ana e koe te tangata kino, horoia atu ana to ratou ingoa ake ake.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
Ko te hoariri, mutu pu ratou, he ngaromanga oti tonu iho: a ko nga pa i huna e koe, ngaro whakarere to ratou whakamaharatanga.
7 But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
A e whakarite ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, ka whakatakoto tikanga mo nga iwi i runga i te pono.
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
Hei pa teko ano a Ihowa mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, hei pa teko i nga wa o te he.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
A ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe te hunga e matau ana ki tou ingoa: no te mea e kore e whakarerea e koe, e Ihowa, te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
Ka whakataki toto ia, ka mahara ia ki a ratou: kahore e wareware i a ia te karanga a te hunga iti.
13 Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
Tohungia ahau, e Ihowa; titiro ki toku mate i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, e te kaiwhakaara i ahau i nga tatau o te mate:
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
Kia whakakitea katoatia ai e ahau ou whakamoemiti i nga tatau o te tamahine o Hiona: ka hari ahau ki tau whakaoranga.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
Kua tapoko nga tauiwi ki te rua i keria e ratou: kua mau to ratou waewae i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou.
16 The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
Kua matauria a Ihowa ki te whakawa e whakaritea ana e ia: he mahanga mo te tangata kino te mahi a ona ringa. (Hikaiono. (Hera)
Ka hoki nga tangata kino ki te reinga, ara nga iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
E kore hoki e warewarea tonutia te tangata rawakore: e kore e taka tonu ta te hunga iti i tumanako atu ai.
19 Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
20 Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera)
