Salmos 21

Te Karaunatanga o te Kīngi

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 Ka hari te kīngi ki tōu kaha, e Ihowā;

anō te nui o tōna whakamanamana ki tāu whakaoranga!

2 Kua hōmai e koe ki a ia tā tōna ngākau i hiahia ai;

kīhai anō i kaiponuhia e koe tā ōna ngutu i īnoi ai. Hera

3 Kei mua nei hoki koe i a ia e hōmai ana i ngā manaakitanga o te pai;

karaunatia ana e koe tōna mātenga ki te tino kōura.

4 He ora tāna i īnoi ai i a koe, ā, kua hōmai e koe ki a ia,

he roa noa atu ngā rā ake ake.

5 Te nui tōna korōria i tāu whakaoranga;

uhia ana ia e koe ki te hōnore, ki te korōria.

6 Nāu hoki ia i mea kia manaakitia rawatia ake ake;

whakaharitia ana ia e koe ki te koa o tōu mata.

7 E whakawhirinaki ana hoki te kīngi ki a Ihowā;

e kore anō ia e whakangāueuetia,

he atawhai hoki nō te Runga Rawa.

8 Ka mau i tōu ringa ōu hoariri katoa;

ka mau i tōu ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.

9 Ka meinga rātou e koe,

kia rite ki te oumu kāpura i te wā e riri ai koe;

e horomia rātou e Ihowā ina weriweri ia,

ā, mā te kāpura rātou e kai.

10 Ka whakamōtītia e koe ō rātou hua i runga i te whenua,

ō rātou uri i waenganui o ngā tama a te tangata.

11 He kino hoki tā rātou i whakatakoto ai mōu,

he mahi nanakia tā rātou i whakaaro ai, kīhai nei i taea e rātou.

12 Mō reira ka meinga e koe kia tahuri ō rātou tuarā,

ina whakatikaia e koe āu pere i runga i āu aho ki ō rātou mata.

13 Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowā, i runga i tōu kaha!

Ka waiata mātou, ka hīmene ki tōu nui.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;

And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

And hast not withholden the request of his lips. [Selah

3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:

Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,

Even length of days for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation:

Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever:

Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 For the king trusteth in Jehovah;

And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;

Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

9 Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:

Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,

And the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,

And their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evil against thee;

They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back;

Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:

So will we sing and praise thy power.
