Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: he mea ataahua te whakamoemiti ma te hunga kore he.
2 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa i runga i te hapa; himene ki a ia i runga i te hatere kotahi tekau nei nga aho.
3 Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
Waiatatia ki a ia he waiata hou: kia tika te whakatangi, kia nui te reo.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
No te mea he tika te kupu a Ihowa, a kei runga i te pono ana mahi katoa.
5 He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
E paingia ana e ia te tika me te whakawa: ki tonu te whenua i te atawhai a Ihowa.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Na te kupu a Ihowa nga rangi i hanga; ko nga mano katoa hoki o reira na te ha o tona mangai.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
He mea huihui e ia nga wai o te moana, ano he puranga; he mea whawhao e ia te rire ki nga pakoro.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Kia wehi te whenua katoa ki a Ihowa; kia ohooho nga tangata katoa o te ao ki a ia.
9 For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
I ki hoki ia, a kua oti: i whakahau, a tu tonu iho.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
E whakataka ana e Ihowa te whakaaro o nga tauiwi: e whakakahoretia ana e ia nga meatanga a nga iwi.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
Ko te whakaaro o Ihowa, tu tonu ake ake; ko nga meatanga a tona ngakau kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
Ka hari te iwi no ratou nei Atua a Ihowa, te iwi kua whiriwhiria e ia hei taonga tupu mona.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
E titiro iho ana a Ihowa i te rangi: e kite ana ia i nga tama katoa a te tangata.
14 From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Kei tona wahi nohoanga ia e matakitaki iho ana ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
Nana i hanga nga ngakau o ratou katoa, e mohiotia ana e ia a ratou mahi katoa.
16 A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
E kore tetahi kingi e ora i te nui o te ope, e kore e ora te marohirohi i te nui o te kaha.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
He mea teka te hoiho hei whakaora; ehara ano tona kaha nui i te mea e mawhiti ai.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
Nana, kei runga i te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te kanohi o Ihowa, kei te hunga e tumanako ana ki tana mahi tohu;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Hei whakaora i o ratou wairua kei mate, hei mea i a ratou kia ora i te wa o te hemokai.
20 Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Kua tatari nei o tatou wairua ki a Ihowa; ko ia to tatou kaiawhina, to tatou whakangungu rakau.
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
Hari tonu to tatou ngakau ki a ia; no tatou hoki i whakawhirinaki ki tona ingoa tapu.
22 Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
E Ihowa, hei runga i a matou tau mahi tohu; kia rite hoki ki ta matou tumanako ki a koe.
