Psalms 21
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.
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 The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. (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 puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.
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 Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him — length of days, Age-during — and for 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 Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.
He nui tona kororia i tau whakaoranga: uhia ana ia e koe ki te honore, ki te kororia.
6 For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy 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 Jehovah, 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 Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.
Ka mau i tou ringa ou hoariri katoa: ka mau i tou ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.
9 Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth 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 Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, 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 against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
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 Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest 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 Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowa, i runga i tou kaha: ka waiata matou, ka himene ki tou nui.
