1 Praise Yah!

Praise Yahweh from the heavens!

Praise him in the heights!

2 Praise him, all his angels!

Praise him, all his army!

3 Praise him, sun and moon!

Praise him, all you shining stars!

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens,

you waters that are above the heavens.

5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name,

for he commanded, and they were created.

6 He has also established them forever and ever.

He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,

you great sea creatures, and all depths,

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,

stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

9 mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

10 wild animals and all livestock,

small creatures and flying birds,

11 kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all judges of the earth,

12 both young men and maidens,

old men and children.

13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name,

for his name alone is exalted.

His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He has lifted up the horn of his people,

the praise of all his saints,

even of the children of Israel, a people near to him.

Praise Yah!

1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.

2 Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.

3 Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.

4 Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.

5 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.

6 Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.

7 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;

8 E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;

9 E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;

10 E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:

11 E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:

12 E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:

13 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.

14 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
