Psalms 84
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. He himene ma nga tama a Koraha. Ano te ataahua o ou tapenakara, e Ihowa o nga mano!
2 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
E hiahia ana toku wairua, ae, e hemo ana ki nga marae o Ihowa: e tangi ana toku ngakau me oku kikokiko ki te Atua ora.
3 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
Me te pihoihoi hoki kua kite i tetahi whare, me te warou ano hoki i tetahi ohanga mona, hei takotoranga mo ana pi, ara i au aata, e Ihowa o nga mano, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua.
4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
Ka hari te hunga e noho ana i tou whare: he whakamoemiti tonu ta ratou ki a koe. (Hera)
5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
Ka hari te tangata ko tona kaha nei kei a koe: kei roto i o ratou ngakau nga huarahi ki reira.
6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
Ka haere ratou ra te raorao o Paka, ka meinga e ratou hei puna: ngaro iho ano hoki nga poka i te ua.
7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
Ka haere atu ratou i te kaha ki te kaha; ka kitea ratou ki te aroaro o te Atua i Hiona.
8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
E Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano, whakarongo ki taku inoi: tahuri mai tou taringa, e te Atua o Hakopa. (Hera)
9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
Titiro mai, e te Atua, e to matou whakangungu rakau: tirohia iho hoki te mata o tau tangata i whakawahi ai.
10 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
No te mea, he ra kotahi i ou whare, pai atu i nga ra kotahi mano: te tiaki tatau i te whare o toku Atua, pai atu ki ahau i te noho ki nga teneti o te kino.
11 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
He ra hoki a Ihowa te Atua, he whakangungu rakau: ka homai e Ihowa te atawhai me te kororia; e kore e kaiponuhia e ia tetahi mea pai ki te hunga e tapatahi ana te haere.
12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
E Ihowa o nga mano, ka hari te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe.
