Waiata 46
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ma nga tama a Koraha. He waiata Aramoto. Ko te Atua to tatou piringa, to tatou kaha; he kaiawhina e tino tata ana i nga wa o te he.
For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
2 Na reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;
Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
3 Ahakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera)
Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
4 He awa tena ko ona manga hei whakahari i te pa o te Atua, i te wahi tapu o nga tapenakara o te Runga Rawa.
The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
5 Kei waenganui ona te Atua, e kore ia e whakakorikoria: ma te Atua ia e awhina i te putanga ano o te ata.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
6 I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.
The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
7 Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera)

8 Haere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.
Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
9 E whakamutua ana e ia nga whainga a te pito ra ano o te whenua: whati ana i a ia te kopere, poro pu te tao, tahuna ake e ia te hariata ki te kapura.
Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
10 Kia ata noho, a kia matau ko ahau te Atua; e whakanuia ahau i waenganui i nga tauiwi, e whakanuia ahau i te whenua.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano: ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera)
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
