1 Praise ye Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise Jehovah:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that in them is;
Who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed;
Who giveth food to the hungry.
Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8 Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;
Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;
Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;
He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 Jehovah will reign for ever,
Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye Jehovah.
1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. E toku wairua, whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
2 I ahau e ora nei ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki toku Atua i ahau i te ao nei.
3 Kei whakawhirinaki ki nga rangatira, ki te tama ranei a te tangata, kahore nei he awhina.
4 Ko te putanga atu o tona wairua, hoki ana ia ki tona oneone; kore iho ona whakaaro i taua ra pu ano.
5 Ka hari te tangata ko te Atua nei o Hakopa tona kaiawhina: ko tana e tumanako ai ko Ihowa, ko tona Atua;
6 Ko te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o nga mea katoa o reira; e pupuri nei i te pono ake ake;
7 E tohe nei i te whakawa a te hunga e tukinotia ana: e whangai nei i te hunga mate hiakai: ko Ihowa hei wewete i nga herehere:
8 Ko Ihowa hei whakatitiro i nga matapo: ko Ihowa hei whakaara i te hunga kua whakapikoa iho: e aroha ana a Ihowa ki te hunga tika.
9 Ko Ihowa hei tiaki i nga manene; ko ia hei tautoko i te pani, i te pouaru: ko te ara ia o te hunga kino, ka huripokitia e ia.
10 Ko Ihowa hei kingi ake ake, ae, ko tou Atua, e Hiona, tae noa ki nga whakatupuranga katoa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
