1A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.`
1¶ He himene na Rawiri. I mea a Ihowa ki toku Ariki: Hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
2The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
2Ma Ihowa e tono mai te tokotoko o tou kaha i Hiona: hei rangatira koe i waenganui i ou hoariri.
3Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
3Ka kakama tou iwi ki te tapae atu i a ratou i te ra o tou kaha: i te ataahua o nga mea tapu, no te kopu mai o te ata, kei a koe te tomairangi o tou whanaketanga.
4Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou [art] a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.`
4Kua oati a Ihowa, e kore ano tana e puta ke; Hei tohunga koe ake ake, no te tikanga o Merekihereke.
5The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.
5¶ Kei tou matau te Ariki, ka maru i a ia nga kingi i te ra e riri ai ia.
6He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.
6E whakawa ia i waenganui i nga tauiwi; e whakakiia e ia nga whenua ki te tupapaku: ka maru i a ia nga upoko i nga whenua maha.
7From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!
7Ka inu wai ia i te awa i te ara: a ka ara tona matenga.
