1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.

2 Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.

3 Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.

4 Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.

5 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.

6 Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.

7 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;

8 E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;

9 E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;

10 E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:

11 E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:

12 E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:

13 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.

14 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens:

Praise him in the heights.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels:

Praise ye him, all his host.

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon:

Praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,

And ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah;

For he commanded, and they were created.

6 He hath also established them for ever and ever:

He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth,

Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor;

Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

9 Mountains and all hills;

Fruitful trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and flying birds;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;

Princes and all judges of the earth;

12 Both young men and virgins;

Old men and children:

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah;

For his name alone is exalted;

His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people,

The praise of all his saints;

Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.

Praise ye Jehovah.
