Waiata 110

1 He himene na Rawiri. I mea a Ihowa ki toku Ariki: Hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2 Ma Ihowa e tono mai te tokotoko o tou kaha i Hiona: hei rangatira koe i waenganui i ou hoariri.

Jehovah will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 Ka kakama tou iwi ki te tapae atu i a ratou i te ra o tou kaha: i te ataahua o nga mea tapu, no te kopu mai o te ata, kei a koe te tomairangi o tou whanaketanga.

Your people offer themselves willingly on the day of your power. On the holy mountains at sunrise the dew of your youth will be yours.

4 Kua oati a Ihowa, e kore ano tana e puta ke; Hei tohunga koe ake ake, no te tikanga o Merekihereke.

Jehovah has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

5 Kei tou matau te Ariki, ka maru i a ia nga kingi i te ra e riri ai ia.

Jehovah is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

6 E whakawa ia i waenganui i nga tauiwi; e whakakiia e ia nga whenua ki te tupapaku: ka maru i a ia nga upoko i nga whenua maha.

He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will shatter the head throughout a vast territory.

7 Ka inu wai ia i te awa i te ara: a ka ara tona matenga.

He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
