1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ma nga tama a Koraha. He waiata Aramoto. Ko te Atua to tatou piringa, to tatou kaha; he kaiawhina e tino tata ana i nga wa o te he.
1To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.` — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
2Na reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;
2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3Ahakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera.
3Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
4He awa tena ko ona manga hei whakahari i te pa o te Atua, i te wahi tapu o nga tapenakara o te Runga Rawa.
4A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5Kei waenganui ona te Atua, e kore ia e whakakorikoria: ma te Atua ia e awhina i te putanga ano o te ata.
5God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
6¶ I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.
6Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
7Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.
7Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.
8Haere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.
8Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
9E whakamutua ana e ia nga whainga a te pito ra ano o te whenua: whati ana i a ia te kopere, poro pu te tao, tahuna ake e ia te hariata ki te kapura.
9Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
10Kia ata noho, a kia matau ko ahau te Atua; e whakanuia ahau i waenganui i nga tauiwi, e whakanuia ahau i te whenua.
10Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano: ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.
11Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! Selah.
