8 Nau i rangona iho ai te whakawa i te rangi: wehi ana te whenua, whakaririka kau ana,
You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9 I te aranga ake o te Atua ki te whakawa, ki te whakaora i te hunga mahaki katoa o te whenua. (Hera)
when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)
10 He pono ka whai kororia koe i te riri o te tangata: mau ano e whitiki te toenga o te riri.
Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Whakapuakina te kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, whakamana hoki; e te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, mauria he hakari ki a ia, ka tika hoki te wehi ki a ia.
Make vows to Jehovah your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
