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.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
2 Na reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;
Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;
3 Ahakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera)
Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
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.
There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.
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 at the dawn of the morning.
6 I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera)
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
8 Haere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in 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.
He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the 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)
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
