1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.

2 Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

3 Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake.

4 Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.

5 He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.

6 E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.

7 E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa.

8 Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri.

9 Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia.

10 Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.
