1 Sing aloud unto God our strength:

Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel,

The pleasant harp with the psaltery.

3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,

At the full moon, on our feast-day.

4 For it is a statute for Israel,

An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony,

When he went out over the land of Egypt,

Where I heard a language that I knew not.

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:

His hands were freed from the basket.

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee;

I answered thee in the secret place of thunder;

I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. [Selah

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

9 There shall no strange god be in thee;

Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

10 I am Jehovah thy God,

Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt:

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people hearkened not to my voice;

And Israel would none of me.

12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart,

That they might walk in their own counsels.

13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me,

That Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I would soon subdue their enemies,

And turn my hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him:

But their time should endure for ever.

16 He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat;

And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. Na Ahapa. Kia kaha te waiata ki te Atua, ki to tatou kaha: kia hari te hamama ki te Atua o Hakopa.

2 Whakahuatia te himene, maua mai ki konei te timipera, te hapa reka me te hatere.

3 Whakatangihia te tetere i te kowhititanga marama, i te kinga o te marama, i to tatou ra hakari.

4 Ko te tikanga hoki tenei ma Iharaira, he mea whakarite na te Atua o Hakopa.

5 I whakatakotoria tenei e ia ma Hohepa hei whakaaturanga, i tona haerenga puta noa i te whenua o Ihipa: i rongo ai ahau ki reira i tetahi reo, kahore ahau i matau.

6 I tangohia mai e ahau tona pokohiwi i te pikaunga: whakarerea ake e ona ringa te kete.

7 I karanga koe ki ahau i te pouritanga, a kua ora koe i ahau; i whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe i te wahi ngaro o te whatitiri; i whakamatau i a koe ki nga wai o Meripa. (Hera.

8 Whakarongo, e taku iwi, a ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe: e Iharaira, ki te whakarongo koe ki ahau;

9 Aua tetahi atua ke i roto i a koe; kaua ano e koropiko ki te atua ke.

10 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, i arahina mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa: kia nui te kowhera o tou mangai, a maku e whakaki.

11 Otiia kihai taku iwi i pai ki te whakarongo ki toku reo: kihai ano a Iharaira i aro ki ahau.

12 Na tukua atu ana ratou e ahau ki te maro o o ratou ngakau: a haere ana ratou i runga i o ratou whakaaro.

13 Aue, te whakarongo taku iwi ki ahau! Te haere a Iharaira i aku ara!

14 Penei e kore e aha kua whati i ahau te tara o o ratou hoariri: kua tahuri ano toku ringa ki o ratou hoariri.

15 Ko te hunga e kino ana ki a Ihowa kua ngohengohe ki a ia: ko to ratou taima ia kua mau tonu.

16 Kua whangainga hoki ratou e ia ki te witi pai rawa, kua whakamakonatia ano koe e ahau ki te honi i roto i te kohatu.
