1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

2 He nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

3 He mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.

4 Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.

5 E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.

6 Kua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.

7 Ko nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,

8 U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

9 I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.

10 Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,

In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 The works of Jehovah are great,

Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work is honor and majesty;

And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:

Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 He hath given food unto them that fear him:

He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath showed his people the power of his works,

In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice;

All his precepts are sure.

8 They are established for ever and ever;

They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He hath sent redemption unto his people;

He hath commanded his covenant for ever:

Holy and reverend is his name.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;

A good understanding have all they that do his commandments:

His praise endureth for ever.
