1 He himene whakamoemiti. Kia hari te hamama ki a Ihowa, e nga whenua katoa:

2 Mahi atu ki a Ihowa i runga i te koa, waiata haere ki tona aroaro.

3 Kia matau ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua: nana tatou i hanga, ehara hoki i a tatou: ko tana iwi tatou, ko ana hipi e hepara ai.

4 Tomokia ona tatau i runga i te whakawhetai, ona marae i runga i te whakamoemiti: whakawhetai atu ki a ia, whakapaingia tona ingoa.

5 He pai hoki a Ihowa, pumau tonu tana mahi tohu: a kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga, tona pono.

A Psalm of praise.

1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
