1 T he Lord says to my Lord, “Sit at My right side, for those who hate You will be a place to rest Your feet.”

He himene na Rawiri. I mea a Ihowa ki toku Ariki: Hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.

2 T he Lord will send out Your strength from Zion, saying, “Rule in front of those who hate You.”

Ma Ihowa e tono mai te tokotoko o tou kaha i Hiona: hei rangatira koe i waenganui i ou hoariri.

3 Y our people will be willing to help in the day of Your power. Your young men will be dressed in holy clothes. They will come to You like water on the grass in the early morning.

Ka kakama tou iwi ki te tapae atu i a ratou i te ra o tou kaha: i te ataahua o nga mea tapu, no te kopu mai o te ata, kei a koe te tomairangi o tou whanaketanga.

4 T he Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Religious Leader forever, in the same way as Melchizedek.”

Kua oati a Ihowa, e kore ano tana e puta ke; Hei tohunga koe ake ake, no te tikanga o Merekihereke.

5 T he Lord is at Your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of His anger.

Kei tou matau te Ariki, ka maru i a ia nga kingi i te ra e riri ai ia.

6 H e will say who is guilty or not among the nations. He will fill them with dead bodies. He will crush the leaders of many lands.

E whakawa ia i waenganui i nga tauiwi; e whakakiia e ia nga whenua ki te tupapaku: ka maru i a ia nga upoko i nga whenua maha.

7 H e will drink from the river on the way. And so He will lift up His head.

Ka inu wai ia i te awa i te ara: a ka ara tona matenga.
