Waiata 87

1 He himene, he waiata ma nga tama a Koraha. Kei nga maunga tapu tona turanga:

A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

2 E arohaina rawatia ana e Ihowa nga kuwaha o Hiona i nga nohoanga katoa o Hakopa.

The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

3 He mea kororia nga mea e korerotia ana mou, e te pa o te Atua. (Hera)

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie of God. (Selah)

4 Ka korerotia e ahau a Rahapa raua ko Papurona ki roto i te hunga e matau ana ki ahau: tirohia atu a Pirihitia, a Taira, a Etiopia; i whanau tenei ki reira.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

5 Ae ra ko te kupu tenei mo Hiona, I whanau tenei me tera ki reira: ma te Runga Rawa pu ano ia e whakapumau.

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

6 Ka korerotia e Ihowa, ina tuhituhia nga iwi, I whanau tenei ki reira. (Hera)

The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

7 Na ka mea te hunga waiata, me te hunga kanikani, Kei a koe oku puna katoa.

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.
