Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

He waiata, he himene na Rawiri. Pumau tonu toku ngakau, e te Atua; ka waiata ahau, ae ra, ka himene ahau, me toku kororia ano.

2 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

E ara, e te hatere, e te hapa: ka ara wawe ano ahau.

3 I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i waenganui i nga iwi: ka himene ki a koe i waenganui i nga tauiwi.

4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

He nui atu hoki tau mahi tohu i nga rangi, a ko tou pono tutuki noa atu ki nga kapua.

5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

Kia whakanuia koe, e te Atua, ki runga atu i nga rangi: hei runga atu i te whenua katoa tou kororia.

6 To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

Kia puta tau i aroha ai, ma tou ringa matau matou e whakaora, a whakahokia mai he kupu ki a matou.

7 God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu: Ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe i te raorao o Hukota.

8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

Noku Kireara; noku a Manahi; ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku hepeta.

9 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: ka whakamanamana ahau ki Pirihitia.

10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa tuwatawata? Ko wai nana ahau i arahi ki Eroma?

11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

He teka ianei kua panga matou e koe, e te Atua? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me o matou taua.

12 Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

Homai ki a matou he awhina ki te hoariri: he teka kau noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.

13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.

Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
