Waiata 92
1 He himene, he waiata mo te ra Hapati. He mea pai te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, te himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa:
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;
2 Te whakakite i tou atawhai i te ata, i tou pono i nga po katoa;
To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;
3 I runga i te aho tekau, i te hatere; i te tangi huatau a te hapa.
On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.
4 Nau hoki ahau, e Ihowa, i whakahari ki tau mahi: ka whakamanamana ahau ki nga meatanga a ou ringa.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.
5 Ano te nui o au mahi, e Ihowa! hohonu rawa ou whakaaro.
O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6 Ko te tangata poauau, kahore ia e matau; kahore hoki tenei e mohiotia e te kuware.
A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.
7 Kia pihi ake nga whakaarokore ano he tarutaru, a kia tupu nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; he ngaromanga tena no ratou ake ake;
When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.
8 Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kei runga rawa ake ake.
But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.
9 Na, ko ou hoa whawhai, e Ihowa, na, ko ou hoa whawhai, ka ngaro; ka marara katoa nga kaimahi i te kino.
For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;
10 Otira ka ara i a koe toku haona, ka pera i to te kau maka: ka whakawahia ahau ki te hinu hou.
But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.
11 Ka kite hoki toku kanohi i taku i hiahia ai ki runga ki oku hoariri, ka rongo oku taringa i taku i hiahia ai o te hunga kino e whakatika ana mai ki ahau.
My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.
12 Ka rite te tupu o te tangata tika ki to te nikau; ka rite tona nui ki to te hita i Repanona.
The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.
13 Ko te hunga i whakatokia ki te whare o Ihowa ka tupu ki nga marae o to tatou Atua.
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.
14 Ka whai hua tonu ratou ua hina: ki tonu i te wai, matomato tonu;
They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;
15 Hei whakakite i te tika o Ihowa: ko ia toku kohatu, kahore hoki ona he.
For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
