1 K i te tino kaiwhakatangi, ma nga tama a Koraha. He waiata Aramoto. Ko te Atua to tatou piringa, to tatou kaha; he kaiawhina e tino tata ana i nga wa o te he.

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

2 N a reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

3 A hakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera.

Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah.

4 H e awa tena ko ona manga hei whakahari i te pa o te Atua, i te wahi tapu o nga tapenakara o te Runga Rawa.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

5 K ei waenganui ona te Atua, e kore ia e whakakorikoria: ma te Atua ia e awhina i te putanga ano o te ata.

God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

6 I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.

The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted.

7 K ei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.

The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

8 H aere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.

9 E whakamutua ana e ia nga whainga a te pito ra ano o te whenua: whati ana i a ia te kopere, poro pu te tao, tahuna ake e ia te hariata ki te kapura.

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.

10 K ia ata noho, a kia matau ko ahau te Atua; e whakanuia ahau i waenganui i nga tauiwi, e whakanuia ahau i te whenua.

“ Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 K ei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano: ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera.

The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
