Waiata 60
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Huhana Erutu. He Mikitama, na Rawiri, hei whakaako. No tana whawhaitanga ki a Aramanaharaima raua ko Aramatopa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa, a patua ana e ia a Eroma ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma rua mano. E te Atua, kua pa nga matou e koe, kua oti matou te whakamarara e koe, kua riri koe; tahuri mai ano ki a matou.
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh.
3 He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.
Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Kua homai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe: kia whakakitea hei mea mo te pono. (Hera)
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me.
6 Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu; ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;
Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of my head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
8 Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.
Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 He teka ranei, e te Atua, kua panga matou e koe? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me a matou taua.
[Wilt] thou not, O God, [who] hadst cast us off? and [thou], O God, [who] didst not go out with our armies?
11 Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
12 Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
