1¶ He himene na Ahapa. E tu ana te Atua i roto i te whakaminenga o te Atua, e whakawa ana i waenganui i nga atua.
1{A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the assembly of ùGod, he judgeth among the gods.
2Kia pehea ake te roa o ta koutou whakawa he, o ta koutou whakapai ki nga kanohi o te hunga kino. (Hera.
2How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.
3Whakatikaia ta te ware, ta te pani: kia tika te whakawa mo te ngakau mamae, mo te rawakore.
3Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;
4Whakaorangia te ware me te rawakore; tangohia mai ratou i te ringa o te tangata kino.
4Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5Kahore o ratou matauranga, kakore hoki e mahara; e kopikopiko noa ana ratou i te pouri; e oioi ana nga turanga katoa o te whenua.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6¶ I mea ahau, He atua koutou, he tama katoa na te Runga Rawa.
6I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;
7Heoi ka pera koutou me te tangata, ka mate; ka hinga, ka pera me tetahi o nga piriniha.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8E ara, e te Atua, whakawakia te whenua: mou hoki nga tauiwi katoa.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.
