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, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under 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 will send out the rod of your strength from Zion; be king over your haters.

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 give themselves gladly in the day of your power; like the dew of the morning on the holy mountains is the army of your young men.

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 made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

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

In the day of his wrath kings will be wounded by the Lord at your right hand.

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 be judge among the nations, the valleys will be full of dead bodies; the head over a great country will be wounded by him.

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

He will take of the stream by the way; so his head will be lifted up.
