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.
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2Na reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;
2Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3Ahakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera.
3though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. 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.
4There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents 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 shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6¶ I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.
6The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
7Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.
7Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8Haere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.
8Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has made 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.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the 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.
10“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”
11Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano: ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.
11Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
