1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki te himene ki to tatou Atua: ahuareka rawa, ataahua tonu te whakamoemiti.

2 Ko Ihowa hei hanga i Hiruharama: mana hoki nga whati o Iharaira e kohikohi.

3 Ko ia hei rongoa i te hunga ngakau maru: mana e takai o ratou wahi mamae.

4 E taua ana e ia nga whetu, te maha: e huaina ana hoki e ia o ratou ingoa katoa.

5 He nui to tatou Ariki, he nui hoki tona kaha: e kore e taea tona matauranga te whakaaro.

6 Ko Ihowa te kaitautoko mo te hunga mahaki: ka turakina e ia te hunga kino ki te whenua.

7 Waiata, whakawhetai ki a Ihowa: himene i runga i te hapa ki to tatou Atua:

8 Ko ia nei te kaiuwhi i te rangi ki nga kapua, te kaihanga i te ua mo te whenua: e whakatupu ana ia i te tarutaru ki runga ki nga maunga.

9 E homai ana e ia he kai ma te kirehe: ma nga pi raweni hoki ina tangi.

10 E kore ia e ahuareka ki te kaha o te hoiho: e kore ia e manako ki nga waewae o te tangata.

11 E manako ana a Ihowa ki te hunga e wehi ana i a ia, ki te hunga e tumanako ana ki tona aroha.

12 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, e Hiruharama: whakamoemititia tou Atua, e Hiona.

13 Nana nei hoki i whakakaha nga tutaki o ou tatau: manaakitia ana e ia au tamariki i roto i a koe.

14 Nana ano i mau ai te rongo i roto i ou rohe: nana koe i makona ai i te witi pai rawa.

15 E tukua ana e ia tana kupu ki te whenua: tere rawa te rere o tana kupu.

16 E homai ana e ia te hukarere ano he huruhuru hipi: e whakatitaritaria ana te haupapa ano he pungarehu.

17 Maka mai ana e ia tana hauhunga ano he maramara: ko wai e tu i mua i tana matao?

18 E tukua ana e ia tana kupu, a whakarewaina ana aua mea: ka meinga tana hau kia pupuhi, rere ana nga wai.

19 E whakakitea ana e ia tana kupu ki a Hakopa; ana tikanga, me ana whakaritenga ki a Iharaira.

20 Kahore i pera tana hanga ki tetahi iwi; kihai ano ana whakaritenga i mohiotia e ratou. whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

1 Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely [is] praise.

2 Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

4 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

5 Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

6 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

7 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,

9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

10 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

11 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

13 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

14 Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

16 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

18 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.

19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

20 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
