1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa; whakamoemititia ia, e nga pononga a Ihowa.

2 E koutou e tu nei i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i nga marae o te whare o to tatou Atua.

3 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki a Ihowa; himene atu ki tona ingoa; he mea ahuareka hoki tena.

4 Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hakopa mana, a Iharaira hei tino taonga mona.

5 E matau ana hoki ahau he nui a Ihowa: kei runga atu hoki to tatou Ariki i nga atua katoa.

6 Ko nga mea katoa i pai ai a Ihowa, kua oti i a ia, i te rangi, i te whenua, i nga moana, i nga wahi hohonu katoa.

7 Nana i pupu ake ai nga kohu i nga pito o te whenua: i hanga e ia nga uira mo te ua; e whakaputaina mai ana e ia te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.

8 Nana nei i patu nga matamua o Ihipa, a te tangata, a te kararehe;

9 I tonoa e ia he tohu, he merekara ki waenganui ou, e Ihipa: ki runga ki a Parao ratou ko ana pononga katoa.

10 Nana i patu nga iwi maha, i whakamate nga kingi rarahi;

11 A Hihona kingi o nga Amori, a Oka kingi o Pahana, me nga rangatiratanga katoa o Kanaana;

12 A homai ana e ia to ratou whenua hei kainga pumau, hei kainga pumau mo Iharaira, mo tana iwi.

13 E Ihowa, pumau tonu tou ingoa, me tou maharatanga, e Ihowa, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.

14 Ka whakawa hoki a Ihowa mo tana iwi; a ka puta ke tona whakaaro ki ana pononga.

15 He hiriwa, he koura nga whakapakoko a nga tauiwi, he mahi na te ringa tangata.

16 He mangai o ratou, a kahore e korero: he kanohi o ratou, a kahore e kite:

17 He taringa o ratou, a kahore e rongo: kahore ano he manawa i o ratou mangai.

18 Ka rite ki a ratou te hunga nana ratou i hanga; ae, me nga tangata katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ratou.

19 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Iharaira; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Arona;

20 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Riwai; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa;

21 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i roto i Hiona, e noho nei i Hiruharama. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
