1 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he nui rawa koe; he honore, he kororia ou kakahu.

2 E roropi nei i te marama ki a koe ano he kakahu, e hora nei i nga rangi ano he kakahu tauarai.

3 E whakanoho nei i nga kurupae o ona ruma ki nga wai: e mea nei i nga kapua hei hariata mona: e haere nei i runga i nga pakau o te hau.

4 E mea nei i nga hau hei karere mana, i te mura ahi hei kaimahi mana.

5 Nana nei i whakatu te whenua ki runga ki ona turanga, kei nekenekehia ake ake.

6 Nau ano i hipoki ki te rire hei kakahu: tu ana nga wai i runga i nga maunga.

7 Rere ana ratou i tau riri: tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tau whatitiri;

8 Puke ake ana ra nga maunga, heke iho ana ma nga whawharua ki te wahi i whakaritea e koe mo ratou.

9 Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai ratou, kei hoki mai hei taupoki mo te whenua.

10 Nana i tono nga puna ki roto ki nga awaawa, e rere nei i waenga o nga puke.

11 Hei wai mo nga kirehe katoa o te parae: na noa te matewai o nga kaihe mohoao.

12 Kei reira nga nohoanga o nga manu o te rangi, e korihi nei i roto i nga manga.

13 He mea whakamakuku nana nga puke i ona ruma: ka makona te whenua i nga hua o au mahi.

14 Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru ma te kararehe, i te otaota hei mea ma te tangata; kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua;

15 He waina hei whakahari i te ngakau o te tangata, he hinu e piata ai tona mata, me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngakau o te tangata.

16 Ki tonu i te wai nga rakau a Ihowa, nga hita o Repanona i whakatokia e ia.

17 Hanga ake e nga manu he ohanga ki reira: te taaka, ko nga kauri tona whare.

18 Hei piringa nga puke tiketike mo nga koati mohoao: nga kohatu mo nga rapeti.

19 I hanga e ia te marama hei tohu taima: e matau ana te ra ki tona torengitanga.

20 Ko koe hei whakapouri, a kua po: na ngoki mai ana nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere.

21 Ko nga kuao raiona ngengere ana ratou, he mea kai, he rapu kai ma ratou i te Atua.

22 Ko te putanga mai o te ra ka poto atu ratou, takoto ana i o ratou kuhunga.

23 Ko te tangata ka haere ki ana hanga, ki tana mahi, a ahiahi noa.

24 Ano te tini o au mahi, e Ihowa! he mohio rawa tau mahi i aua mea katoa; ki tonu te whenua i au taonga.

25 Kei ko ra ko te moana, tona nui tuauriuri: kei reira nga mea ngokingoki e kore e taea te tatau, nga kirehe hoki, ana nonohi, ana nunui.

26 Kei reira nga kaipuke e teretere ana: kei reira taua rewiatana i hanga e koe hei takaro ki reira.

27 E tatari katoa ana enei ki a koe, kia hoatu e koe te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai.

28 Ko tau e hoatu ai ma ratou, kohikohia ana e ratou: te wherahanga o tou ringa, makona tonu ratou i te pai.

29 Ko te hunanga o tou mata, pororaru ana ratou: ka kapohia e koe to ratou manawa, ka marere ratou, a ka hoki ano ki to ratou puehu.

30 Ko tau tononga mai i tou wairua, kua hanga ratou; a whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

31 Kia whai kororia a Ihowa ake ake, kia hari a Ihowa ki ana mahi:

32 Tana tirohanga iho ki te whenua, ru ana: kua pa ki nga puke, na pongere ana.

33 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa i ahau e ora ana: ka himene ki toku Atua i ahau ano i te ao nei.

34 Kia reka toku whakaaronga ki a ia, ka hari ahau ki a Ihowa.

35 Kia moti nga tangata hara i runga i te whenua, ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu. Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

O Jehovah my God, thou art very great;

Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;

Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;

Who maketh the clouds his chariot;

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

4 Who maketh winds his messengers;

Flames of fire his ministers;

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be moved for ever.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

They run among the mountains;

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

They sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,

And oil to make his face to shine,

And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.

16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture,

The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests:

As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;

The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons:

The sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night,

Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

And seek their food from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they get them away,

And lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work

And to his labor until the evening.

24 O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy riches.

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships;

There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

27 These wait all for thee,

That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather;

Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;

And thou renewest the face of the ground.

31 Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;

Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;

He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let my meditation be sweet unto him:

I will rejoice in Jehovah.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

And let the wicked be no more.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise ye Jehovah.
