1 We give thanks to you, God.

We give thanks, for your Name is near.

Men tell about your wondrous works.

2 When I choose the appointed time,

I will judge blamelessly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake.

I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.

4 I said to the arrogant, "Don’t boast!"

I said to the wicked, "Don’t lift up the horn.

5 Don’t lift up your horn on high.

Don’t speak with a stiff neck."

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,

nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

7 But God is the judge.

He puts down one, and lifts up another.

8 For in Yahweh’s hand there is a cup,

full of foaming wine mixed with spices.

He pours it out.

Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

9 But I will declare this forever:

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He himene, he waiata na Ahapa. Ka whakawhetai tonu matou ki a koe, e te Atua; ka whakawhetai tonu matou, kei te tata mai hoki tou ingoa: e korerotia ana e te tangata au mahi whakamiharo.

2 Ka kitea e ahau te wa e rite ana, ka tika taku whakawa.

3 Kuteretere noa iho te whenua me ona tangata katoa; naku i whakatu ona pou. (Hera.

4 I mea ahau ki te hunga whakakake, Kati ra te whakakake; ki te hunga hara ano, Kaua e whakaarahia te haona.

5 Kaua to koutou haona e whakaarahia ki runga: kati te whakamaro i te kaki ina korero.

6 No te mea kahore he aranga i te rawhiti, kahore i te hauauru, kahore hoki i te tonga.

7 Ko te Atua ia te kaiwhakawa; ko tenei e whakaititia iho ana e ia, ko tera e whakaarahia ake ana.

8 Kei te ringa hoki o Ihowa he kapu, pahuka tonu te waina; ki tonu, whakananu rawa, hei ringihanga mana: ko nga nganga ia, ma te hunga kino katoa o te whenua e tatau, e inu.

9 Ko ahau ia, ka kauwhau tonu: ka himene ki te Atua o Hakopa.

10 A ka kotia e ahau nga haona katoa o te hunga kino: ka whakaarahia ake ia nga haona o te tangata tika.
