1For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
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.
2I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
2Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe, ka himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.
3When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
3I te hokinga whakamuri o oku hoariri, tutuki ana ratou, ngaro iho i tou aroaro.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
4Nau hoki i whakatika aku korero me toku whakawa; i runga koe i te torona e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.
5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5Kua whakatupehupehu koe ki nga tauiwi, huna ana e koe te tangata kino, horoia atu ana to ratou ingoa ake ake.
6The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
6Ko te hoariri, mutu pu ratou, he ngaromanga oti tonu iho: a ko nga pa i huna e koe, ngaro whakarere to ratou whakamaharatanga.
7But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
7Ko Ihowa ia noho tonu hei kingi ake, ake: kua whakapaia e ia tona torona mo te whakawa.
8And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
8A e whakarite ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, ka whakatakoto tikanga mo nga iwi i runga i te pono.
9Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
9Hei pa teko ano a Ihowa mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, hei pa teko i nga wa o te he.
10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
10A 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.
11Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
11¶ Himene ki a Ihowa e noho nei i Hiona: whakapuakina i waenganui i nga iwi ana mahi.
12For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
12Ka whakataki toto ia, ka mahara ia ki a ratou: kahore e wareware i a ia te karanga a te hunga iti.
13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
13Tohungia 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:
14That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
14Kia whakakitea katoatia ai e ahau ou whakamoemiti i nga tatau o te tamahine o Hiona: ka hari ahau ki tau whakaoranga.
15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
15Kua tapoko nga tauiwi ki te rua i keria e ratou: kua mau to ratou waewae i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou.
16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
16Kua matauria a Ihowa ki te whakawa e whakaritea ana e ia: he mahanga mo te tangata kino te mahi a ona ringa. (Hikaiono. Hera.
17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
17Ka hoki nga tangata kino ki te reinga, ara nga iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua.
18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
18E kore hoki e warewarea tonutia te tangata rawakore: e kore e taka tonu ta te hunga iti i tumanako atu ai.
19Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
19E ara, e Ihowa, kei riro i ta te tangata: kia whakawakia nga tauiwi i tou aroaro.
20Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
20E Ihowa, meinga ratou kia wehi: kia matau nga tauiwi he tangata nei ano ratou. (Hera.
