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.
For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy 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 exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
When mine enemies turn back, they stumble and perish 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 satest in 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 blotted 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.
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; and the cities which thou hast overthrown, their very memorial is perished.
7 Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
But the LORD sitteth [as king] for ever: he hath 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.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister 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.
The LORD also will 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.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, 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 praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people 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 he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
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 upon me, O LORD; behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest 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 shew forth all thy praise: in the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice 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 which 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)
The LORD hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higaion, 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 return to Sheol, 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 alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
Arise, O LORD; 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, O LORD: let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
