1 He waiata, he himene ma nga tama a Koraha. He nui a Ihowa, kia nui hoki te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te pa o to tatou Atua, i te maunga o tona tapu.

2 Ataahua ana te tairanga o Maunga Hiona, ko ta te ao katoa e koa ai: kei te taha ki te raki te pa o te Kingi nui.

3 E matauria ana te Atua i roto i ona whare papai hei piringa.

4 Na, huihui tahi mai ana nga kingi haere tahi atu ana ratou.

5 I kite ratou, miharo iho: raruraru ana, hohoro tonu atu.

6 Pa ana te wehi ki a ratou i reira, te mamae, ano he wahine e whanau ana.

7 E wahia ana e koe nga kaipuke o Tarahihi ki te marangai.

8 Rite tonu ki ta matou i rongo ai, ta matou i kite ai i roto i te pa o Ihowa o nga mano, i te pa o to tatou Atua: ma te Atua e whakapumau ake ake. (Hera.

9 I whakaaroaro matou ki tou atawhai, e te Atua, i waenganui o tou temepara.

10 E te Atua, rite tahi ki tou ingoa te whakamoemiti mou, tae noa atu ki nga pito o te whenua: ki tonu tou matau i te tika.

11 Kia hari a Maunga Hiona, kia koa nga tamahine a Hura i au whakaritenga.

12 Taiawhiotia a Hiona, haere, a kopiko noa mai: taua ona pourewa.

13 Maharatia ona pekerangi, tirohia ona whare papai; hei korerotanga ma koutou ki enei ake whakatupuranga.

14 Ko tenei Atua hoki te Atua mo tatou ake ake: ko ia hei kaiarahi i a tatou a mate noa.

1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.

2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

3 God in her high places is known for a tower.

4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

5 They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.

9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,

10 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.

11 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.

12 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,

13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

14 That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
