For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.

1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us,

And cause his face to shine upon us; [Selah

2 That thy way may be known upon earth,

Thy salvation among all nations.

3 Let the peoples praise thee, O God;

Let all the peoples praise thee.

4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy;

For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,

And govern the nations upon earth. [Selah

5 Let the peoples praise thee, O God;

Let all the peoples praise thee.

6 The earth hath yielded its increase:

God, even our own God, will bless us.

7 God will bless us;

And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nekinoto. He himene, he waiata. Ma te Atua tatou e atawhai, mana tatou e manaaki; mana e mea kia tiaho tona mata ki a tatou; (Hera.

2 Kia matauria ai tau ara ki runga ki te whenua, tau whakaoranga i roto i nga tauiwi katoa.

3 Kia whakamoemiti nga iwi ki a koe, e te Atua, kia whakamoemiti nga iwi katoa ki a koe.

4 Kia koa nga tauiwi, kia waiata i te hari: no te mea ka tika tau whakawa mo nga iwi, a ka kawana koe i nga tauiwi o te whenua. (Hera.

5 Kia whakamoemiti nga iwi ki a koe, e te Atua, kia whakamoemiti nga iwi katoa ki a koe.

6 Kua tuku mai nei te whenua i ona hua; a ka manaaki te Atua, to tatou Atua, i a tatou.

7 Ka manaaki te Atua i a tatou; a ka wehi nga pito katoa o te whenua i a ia.
