Psalms 21
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! 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 have given him his heart’s desire, and 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 meet him with the blessings of goodness. 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 asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
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 your salvation. You lay honour 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 most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
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 trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be 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 will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
Ka mau i tou ringa ou hoariri katoa: ka mau i tou ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.
9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour 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 will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst 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 evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
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 will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
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, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowa, i runga i tou kaha: ka waiata matou, ka himene ki tou nui.
