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.

1 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Good [is] the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

8 Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

9 He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
