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.
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous 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 you. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, O Most High.
3 I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your 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 you have maintained my mishpat ·just· cause. You sit 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.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever 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.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
But Adonai reigns forever. He has prepared 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.
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to 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.
Adonai will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
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.
Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Adonai, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.
Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai, who dwells in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and declare among the people what he has done.
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 avenges blood remembers them. He does not forget 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:
Have mercy on me, Adonai. See my affliction by those who hate me, and 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.
that I may show all of your tehilah ·praise song·. In the gates of the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], I will rejoice in your yishu'ah ·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 have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is 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)
Adonai has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Higgayon (Meditation, Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
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 back to Sheol ·Place of the dead·, even 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 shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19 E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
Arise, Adonai! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20 E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera)
Put them in fear, Adonai. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
