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.

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.

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

The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you 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 in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have 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 repent, 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.

The Lord at your right hand shall strike through 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 shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

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

He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
