1 Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Yahweh, my God, you are very great.

You are clothed with honor and majesty.

2 He covers himself with light as with a garment.

He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot.

He walks on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes his messengers winds,

and his servants flames of fire.

5 He laid the foundations of the earth,

that it should not be moved forever.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled.

At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose,

the valleys sank down,

to the place which you had assigned to them.

9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,

that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

10 He sends springs into the valleys.

They run among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every animal of the field.

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by them.

They sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his rooms.

The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock,

and plants for man to cultivate,

that he may produce food out of the earth:

15 wine that makes the heart of man glad,

oil to make his face to shine,

and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered,

the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

17 where the birds make their nests.

The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats.

The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons.

The sun knows when to set.

20 You make darkness, and it is night,

in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away,

and lie down in their dens.

23 Man goes out to his work,

to his labor until the evening.

24 Yahweh, how many are your works!

In wisdom, you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches.

25 There is the sea, great and wide,

in which are innumerable living things,

both small and large animals.

26 There the ships go,

and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

27 These all wait for you,

that you may give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them; they gather.

You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide your face; they are troubled.

You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

30 You send out your Spirit and they are created.

You renew the face of the ground.

31 Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever.

Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles.

He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let my meditation be sweet to him.

I will rejoice in Yahweh.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

Let the wicked be no more.

Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Praise Yah!

1 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he nui rawa koe; he honore, he kororia ou kakahu.

2 E roropi nei i te marama ki a koe ano he kakahu, e hora nei i nga rangi ano he kakahu tauarai.

3 E whakanoho nei i nga kurupae o ona ruma ki nga wai: e mea nei i nga kapua hei hariata mona: e haere nei i runga i nga pakau o te hau.

4 E mea nei i nga hau hei karere mana, i te mura ahi hei kaimahi mana.

5 Nana nei i whakatu te whenua ki runga ki ona turanga, kei nekenekehia ake ake.

6 Nau ano i hipoki ki te rire hei kakahu: tu ana nga wai i runga i nga maunga.

7 Rere ana ratou i tau riri: tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tau whatitiri;

8 Puke ake ana ra nga maunga, heke iho ana ma nga whawharua ki te wahi i whakaritea e koe mo ratou.

9 Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai ratou, kei hoki mai hei taupoki mo te whenua.

10 Nana i tono nga puna ki roto ki nga awaawa, e rere nei i waenga o nga puke.

11 Hei wai mo nga kirehe katoa o te parae: na noa te matewai o nga kaihe mohoao.

12 Kei reira nga nohoanga o nga manu o te rangi, e korihi nei i roto i nga manga.

13 He mea whakamakuku nana nga puke i ona ruma: ka makona te whenua i nga hua o au mahi.

14 Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru ma te kararehe, i te otaota hei mea ma te tangata; kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua;

15 He waina hei whakahari i te ngakau o te tangata, he hinu e piata ai tona mata, me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngakau o te tangata.

16 Ki tonu i te wai nga rakau a Ihowa, nga hita o Repanona i whakatokia e ia.

17 Hanga ake e nga manu he ohanga ki reira: te taaka, ko nga kauri tona whare.

18 Hei piringa nga puke tiketike mo nga koati mohoao: nga kohatu mo nga rapeti.

19 I hanga e ia te marama hei tohu taima: e matau ana te ra ki tona torengitanga.

20 Ko koe hei whakapouri, a kua po: na ngoki mai ana nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere.

21 Ko nga kuao raiona ngengere ana ratou, he mea kai, he rapu kai ma ratou i te Atua.

22 Ko te putanga mai o te ra ka poto atu ratou, takoto ana i o ratou kuhunga.

23 Ko te tangata ka haere ki ana hanga, ki tana mahi, a ahiahi noa.

24 Ano te tini o au mahi, e Ihowa! he mohio rawa tau mahi i aua mea katoa; ki tonu te whenua i au taonga.

25 Kei ko ra ko te moana, tona nui tuauriuri: kei reira nga mea ngokingoki e kore e taea te tatau, nga kirehe hoki, ana nonohi, ana nunui.

26 Kei reira nga kaipuke e teretere ana: kei reira taua rewiatana i hanga e koe hei takaro ki reira.

27 E tatari katoa ana enei ki a koe, kia hoatu e koe te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai.

28 Ko tau e hoatu ai ma ratou, kohikohia ana e ratou: te wherahanga o tou ringa, makona tonu ratou i te pai.

29 Ko te hunanga o tou mata, pororaru ana ratou: ka kapohia e koe to ratou manawa, ka marere ratou, a ka hoki ano ki to ratou puehu.

30 Ko tau tononga mai i tou wairua, kua hanga ratou; a whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

31 Kia whai kororia a Ihowa ake ake, kia hari a Ihowa ki ana mahi:

32 Tana tirohanga iho ki te whenua, ru ana: kua pa ki nga puke, na pongere ana.

33 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa i ahau e ora ana: ka himene ki toku Atua i ahau ano i te ao nei.

34 Kia reka toku whakaaronga ki a ia, ka hari ahau ki a Ihowa.

35 Kia moti nga tangata hara i runga i te whenua, ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu. Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
