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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 My heart is fixed, O God;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp:

I myself will awake right early.

3 I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples;

And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens;

And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And thy glory above all the earth.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered,

Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;

Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab is my washpot;

Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;

Over Philistia will I shout.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who hath led me unto Edom?

11 Hast not thou cast us off, O God?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

12 Give us help against the adversary;

For vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly:

For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
