< Psalms 9 >

1 To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' — A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
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 rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe, ka himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.
3 In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
4 For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
Nau hoki i whakatika aku korero me toku whakawa; i runga koe i te torona e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.
5 Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
Kua whakatupehupehu koe ki nga tauiwi, huna ana e koe te tangata kino, horoia atu ana to ratou ingoa ake ake.
6 O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
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 And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
8 And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth 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 And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
Hei pa teko ano a Ihowa mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, hei pa teko i nga wa o te he.
10 They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
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 ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.
12 For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten 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 Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest 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 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
Kia whakakitea katoatia ai e ahau ou whakamoemiti i nga tatau o te tamahine o Hiona: ka hari ahau ki tau whakaoranga.
15 Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
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 Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. (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)
17 The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
Ka hoki nga tangata kino ki te reinga, ara nga iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua. (Sheol h7585)
18 For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
E kore hoki e warewarea tonutia te tangata rawakore: e kore e taka tonu ta te hunga iti i tumanako atu ai.
19 Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
20 Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera)
