Waiata 110

1 He himene na Rawiri. I mea a Ihowa ki toku Ariki: Hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.

A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2 Ma Ihowa e tono mai te tokotoko o tou kaha i Hiona: hei rangatira koe i waenganui i ou hoariri.

The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3 Ka kakama tou iwi ki te tapae atu i a ratou i te ra o tou kaha: i te ataahua o nga mea tapu, no te kopu mai o te ata, kei a koe te tomairangi o tou whanaketanga.

Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

4 Kua oati a Ihowa, e kore ano tana e puta ke; Hei tohunga koe ake ake, no te tikanga o Merekihereke.

The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

5 Kei tou matau te Ariki, ka maru i a ia nga kingi i te ra e riri ai ia.

The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6 E whakawa ia i waenganui i nga tauiwi; e whakakiia e ia nga whenua ki te tupapaku: ka maru i a ia nga upoko i nga whenua maha.

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7 Ka inu wai ia i te awa i te ara: a ka ara tona matenga.

He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.
