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.
