Waiata 76
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nekinoto. He himene, he waiata na Ahapa. E matauria ana te Atua i roto i a Hura, he nui tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira.
For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah, his name is great in Israel.
2 Kei Harema hoki tona tapenakara; kei Hiona tona nohoanga.
His tent is in Salem, his dwelling in Zion.
3 I whati i a ia i reira nga pere o te kopere, te whakangungu rakau, te hoari, me nga mea mo te whawhai. (Hera)
There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Tera atu tou kororia, tou nui, i to nga maunga kirehe.
Terrible is your splendor on the everlasting mountains.
5 Kua pahuatia te hunga ngakau toa, moe ana ratou i ta ratou moe; kihai ano i whai ringa tetahi o nga marohirohi.
Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.
6 Na tau whakatupehupehu, e te Atua o Hakopa, i parangia ai te hariata me te hoiho e te moe.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.
7 Ko koe, ina, ko koe e wehingia; ko wai hoki e tu ki tou aroaro ina riri koe?
Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?
8 Nau i rangona iho ai te whakawa i te rangi: wehi ana te whenua, whakaririka kau ana,
The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,
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 the oppressed 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.
The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.
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.
Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.
12 Mana e poro atu te wairua o nga rangatira: e matakuria ana ia e nga kingi o te whenua.
He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
