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 OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,

2 Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe, ka himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.

I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.

3 I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.

In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.

4 Nau hoki i whakatika aku korero me toku whakawa; i runga koe i te torona e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.

For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.

5 Kua whakatupehupehu koe ki nga tauiwi, huna ana e koe te tangata kino, horoia atu ana to ratou ingoa ake ake.

You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.

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.

The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.

7 Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.

And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing 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 He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.

9 Hei pa teko ano a Ihowa mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, hei pa teko i nga wa o te he.

And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

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.

They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.

11 Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.

Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,

12 Ka whakataki toto ia, ka mahara ia ki a ratou: kahore e wareware i a ia te karanga a te hunga iti.

For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

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:

Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift 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.

So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your 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.

Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.

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)

YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)

17 Ka hoki nga tangata kino ki te reinga, ara nga iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua. (Sheol h7585)

The wicked turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting 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 is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.

19 E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.

Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.

20 E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera)

Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
