1 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; he pai hoki ia, he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

2 Kia mea a Iharaira, He pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

3 Kia mea te whare o Arona, He pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

4 Kia mea te hunga e wehi ana i a Ihowa, He pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

5 I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i roto i te pouri: i whakahoki kupu mai a Ihowa ki ahau, i whakatu hoki i ahau ki te wahi whanui.

6 Kei ahau a Ihowa; e kore ahau e wehi: he aha ta te tangata e mea ai ki ahau?

7 Kei ahau a Ihowa kei roto i oku kaiawhina: no reira tera ahau e kite i taku i hiahia ai ki te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.

8 Ko te whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, pai atu i te whakaaro ki te tangata.

9 Ko te whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, pai atu i te okioki ki nga rangatira.

10 I karapotia ahau e nga iwi katoa: ka ngaro ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

11 I karapotia ahau e ratou: ae, i karapotia ahau e ratou: ka ngaro ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

12 Me te mea he pi ratou e mui ana ki ahau; kua pirau ratou ano he ahi tataramoa: i ngaro hoki ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

13 Kaha pu tau turaki i ahau, kia hinga ai ahau: na Ihowa ia ahau i awhina mai.

14 Ko Ihowa toku kaha, taku himene, ko ia ano toku whakaoranga.

15 He reo hari, he reo whakaoranga, kei nga tapenakara o te hunga tika: he maia nga mahi a te ringa matau o Ihowa.

16 Kua whakanuia te matau o Ihowa: he maia nga mahi a te ringa matau o Ihowa.

17 E kore ahau e mate, engari tera ahau e ora, hei whakapuaki i nga mahi a Ihowa.

18 I pakia rawatia ahau e Ihowa: otiia kihai ahau i tukua e ia kia mate.

19 Whakatuwheratia ki ahau nga kuwaha o te tika: ka tomo ahau ki roto, ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.

20 Ko te kuwaha tenei o Ihowa: ka tomo te hunga tika ki reira.

21 Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe, mou i whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau, kua meinga hoki ko koe hei whakaora moku.

22 Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga hei upoko mo te kokonga.

23 Na Ihowa tenei: he mea miharo ki o tatou kanohi.

24 Ko te ra tenei i hanga e Ihowa kia whakamanamana, kia koa tatou i reira.

25 Whakaorangia ra aianei, e Ihowa: tena ra, e Ihowa, homai he ngahuru ki a matou.

26 Kia whakapaingia te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: kua whakapaingia koutou e matou i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

27 Ko Ihowa te Atua, a nana i homai te marama ki a tatou: herea te patunga tapu ki nga aho, ki nga haona ra ano o te aata.

28 Ko koe toku Atua, maku koe e whakamoemiti: toku Atua, maku koe e whakanui.

29 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; he pai hoki ia: he pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

2 Let Israel now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

3 Let the house of Aaron now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

4 Let them now that fear Jehovah say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

5 Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:

Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.

6 Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:

What can man do unto me?

7 Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:

Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

12 They compassed me about like bees;

They are quenched as the fire of thorns:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;

But Jehovah helped me.

14 Jehovah is my strength and song;

And he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:

The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:

The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live,

And declare the works of Jehovah.

18 Jehovah hath chastened me sore;

But he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:

I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

20 This is the gate of Jehovah;

The righteous shall enter into it.

21 I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,

And art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders rejected

Is become the head of the corner.

23 This is Jehovah’s doing;

It is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which Jehovah hath made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:

O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah:

We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:

Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:

Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
