1 M ay the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high;

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ma Ihowa e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te ra o te he; ma te ingoa o te Atua o Hakopa koe e tiaki;

2 S end you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh, and strengthen you from Zion;

Mana e tono mai he awhina mou i te wahi tapu, e whakau hoki koe i Hiona;

3 R emember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah!

Mana e mahara ki au whakahere katoa, e manako ki au tahunga tinana. (Hera.

4 M ay He grant you according to your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.

Mana e homai ki a koe ta tou ngakau e mea ai, e whakamana katoa hoki tau e wawata ai.

5 W e will triumph at your salvation and victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Ka hari matou ki tau whakaoranga, ka whakatu hoki i o matou kara i runga i te ingoa o to matou Atua: ma Ihowa e whakarite au inoi katoa.

6 N ow I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

Katahi ahau ka matau e whakaora ana a Ihowa i tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tona rangi tapu, me te kaha ano tona ringa matau ki te whakaora.

7 S ome trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God.

Ko ta etahi he hariata, ko ta etahi he hoiho: ko tatou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.

8 T hey are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.

Kua piko ratou, kua hinga: ko tatou ia kua ara, kua tu ki runga.

9 O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.

Whakaorangia, e Ihowa: kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kingi ina karanga matou.
