1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. A Song.
2 \68:1\Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.
3 \68:2\Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.
4 \68:3\But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.
5 \68:4\Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.
6 \68:5\A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.
7 \68:6\Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
8 \68:7\O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah.)
9 \68:8\The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.
10 \68:9\You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.
11 \68:10\Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.
12 \68:11\The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public.
13 \68:12\Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods.
14 \68:13\Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
15 \68:14\When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.
16 \68:15\A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan.
17 \68:16\Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.
18 \68:17\The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.
19 \68:18\You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.
20 \68:19\Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah.)
21 \68:20\Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.
22 \68:21\The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.
23 \68:22\The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea;
24 \68:23\So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.
25 \68:24\We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place.
26 \68:25\The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments.
27 \68:26\Give praise to God in the great meeting; even the Lord, you who come from the fountain of Israel.
28 \68:27\There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali.
29 \68:28\O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,
30 \68:29\Out of your Temple in Jerusalem.
31 \68:30\Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.
32 \68:31\Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God.
33 \68:32\Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah.)
34 \68:33\To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.
35 \68:34\Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
36 \68:35\O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. Kia ara te Atua, kia marara ona hoariri: kia whati hoki i tona aroaro te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
2 Aia atu ratou, peratia me te paowa e aia ana: kia rite ki te ware pi e rewa ana i te kapura te ngaromanga o te hunga kino i te aroaro o te Atua.
3 Kia koa ia te hunga tika; kia hari i te aroaro o te Atua: ae ra, kia tino hari pu ratou.
4 Waiata ki te Atua, himenetia tona ingoa; opehia ake he huanui mo tana hariata i nga koraha; tona ingoa ko IHA; kia hari hoki ki tona aroaro.
5 Hei matua mo nga pani, hei kaiwhakarite mo nga pouaru, te Atua i tona nohoanga tapu.
6 E whakanohoia ana e te Atua te mokemoke ki te whare; e whakaputaina ana e ia nga herehere ki te ora: ko te hunga tutu ia e noho i te wahi waikore.
7 E te Atua, i tou haerenga atu i mua i tau iwi: i tou haerenga i te koraha; (Hera.
8 I wiri te whenua, i tuturu iho ano nga rangi i te aroaro o te Atua; me taua Hinai ano i te aroaro o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.
9 I taia mai, e koe, e te Atua, he ua nui; a i tou kainga e ruwha ana ka whakaukia e koe.
10 I noho tau whakaminenga ki reira: na tou pai, e te Atua, i mea kai ai koe ma nga rawakore.
11 Ka homai e Ihowa te kupu: he ope nui nga wahine whakapuaki.
12 Whati rawa nga kingi o nga taua: a ko te wahine i noho i te whare, kei te tuwha i nga parakete.
13 I a koutou ka takoto noa i nga takotoranga hipi, he rite ki nga pakau o te kukupa kua paparuatia nei ki te hiriwa, ona hou ki te koura whero.
14 I te whakamararatanga a te Kaha Rawa i nga kingi i reira, koia ano kei te hukarere o Taramono te ma.
15 He maunga Atua a Maunga Pahana; he maunga tiketike a Maunga Pahana.
16 He aha koutou ka titiro titaha ai, e nga maunga tiketike, ki te maunga i hiahiatia nei e te Atua kia nohoia e ia? ae, ka nohoia e Ihowa ake ake.
17 Ko nga hariata a te Atua, e rua tekau mano, mano mano iho; kei roto i a ratou te Ariki, me te mea ko Hinai, ko te wahi tapu.
18 Kua kake koe ki runga, kua whakaraua e koe te whakarau: kua riro i a koe he ohaoha mo te tangata; ae, mo te hunga tutu ano, kia noho ai a Ihowa, te Atua ki a ratou.
19 Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, e whakawaha nei i ta tatou pikaunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te Atua o to tatou whakaoranga. (Hera.
20 Ko to tatou Atua te Atua o te whakaoranga: na Ihowa ano, na te Ariki, nga putanga ake i te mate.
21 Ka maru ia i te Atua te matenga o ona hoariri: me te tumuaki huruhuru o te tangata e haere tonu ana i ana kino.
22 I mea te Ariki, Ka whakahokia mai e ahau i Pahana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i nga rire o te moana:
23 Kia toua ai tou waewae ki te toto, kia whiwhi ai te arero o au kuri ki tana wahi o ou hoariri.
24 I kite ratou, e te Atua, i ou haerenga, i nga haerenga o toku Atua, o toku Kingi, i te wahi tapu.
25 Ko nga kaiwaiata i haere i mua, i muri ko nga kaiwhakatangi, i waenganui o nga kotiro e patupatu ana i nga timipera.
26 Whakapaingia te Atua i roto i nga whakaminenga, te Ariki hoki, e nga mea i puta mai i te matapuna o Iharaira.
27 Kei reira a Pineamine, te whakaotinga, to ratou ariki, nga rangatira o Hura, me to ratou ropu, nga rangatira o Hepurona, me nga rangatira o Napatari.
28 Kua oti he kaha mou te whakahau iho e tou Atua: whakaukia, e te Atua, tau i mea ai mo matou.
29 Ka maua mai e nga kingi he hakari ki a koe, mo tou temepara i Hiruharama.
30 Riria te kirehe o nga kakaho, te huinga puru, me nga kuao kau a nga iwi, me te takahi i nga pihi hiriwa ki raro: whakamararatia nga iwi e ahuareka ana ki te whainga.
31 E puta mai nga rangatira i Ihipa: meake hohoro te totoro o nga ringa o Etiopia ki te Atua.
32 Waiata ki te Atua, e nga rangatiratanga o te whenua: himene ki te Ariki: (Hera.
33 Ki a ia, ko tona hariata nei ko nga rangi o nga rangi, nonamata: na, ka puaki tona reo, he reo kaha.
34 Waiho te kaha i te Atua, kei runga nei i a Iharaira tana mahi rangatira: kei nga kapua hoki tona kaha.
35 Ka wehingia koe, e te Atua, i roto i ou wahi tapu: ko te Atua o Iharaira te kaihomai i te kaha, i te mana, ki tona iwi. Whakapaingia te Atua.
