Waiata 60
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Huhana Erutu. He Mikitama, na Rawiri, hei whakaako. No tana whawhaitanga ki a Aramanaharaima raua ko Aramatopa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa, a patua ana e ia a Eroma ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma rua mano. E te Atua, kua pa nga matou e koe, kua oti matou te whakamarara e koe, kua riri koe; tahuri mai ano ki a matou.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2 Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
3 He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 Kua homai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe: kia whakakitea hei mea mo te pono. (Hera)
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me.
6 Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu; ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.
God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
7 Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
8 Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."
9 Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 He teka ranei, e te Atua, kua panga matou e koe? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me a matou taua.
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.
11 Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
12 Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
