Waiata 9
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Muturapena. He himene na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, ka korerotia e ahau au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
2 Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe, ka himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
3 I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
4 Nau hoki i whakatika aku korero me toku whakawa; i runga koe i te torona e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
5 Kua whakatupehupehu koe ki nga tauiwi, huna ana e koe te tangata kino, horoia atu ana to ratou ingoa ake ake.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 Ko te hoariri, mutu pu ratou, he ngaromanga oti tonu iho: a ko nga pa i huna e koe, ngaro whakarere to ratou whakamaharatanga.
O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7 Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8 A e whakarite ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, ka whakatakoto tikanga mo nga iwi i runga i te pono.
And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9 Hei pa teko ano a Ihowa mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, hei pa teko i nga wa o te he.
And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
10 A ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe te hunga e matau ana ki tou ingoa: no te mea e kore e whakarerea e koe, e Ihowa, te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.
Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12 Ka whakataki toto ia, ka mahara ia ki a ratou: kahore e wareware i a ia te karanga a te hunga iti.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
13 Tohungia ahau, e Ihowa; titiro ki toku mate i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, e te kaiwhakaara i ahau i nga tatau o te mate:
Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
14 Kia whakakitea katoatia ai e ahau ou whakamoemiti i nga tatau o te tamahine o Hiona: ka hari ahau ki tau whakaoranga.
That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
15 Kua tapoko nga tauiwi ki te rua i keria e ratou: kua mau to ratou waewae i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou.
The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Kua matauria a Ihowa ki te whakawa e whakaritea ana e ia: he mahanga mo te tangata kino te mahi a ona ringa. (Hikaiono. (Hera)
Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Ka hoki nga tangata kino ki te reinga, ara nga iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua. (Sheol h7585)
The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 E kore hoki e warewarea tonutia te tangata rawakore: e kore e taka tonu ta te hunga iti i tumanako atu ai.
For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
19 E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera)
Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
