1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,

and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God shines out.

3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent.

A fire devours before him.

It is very stormy around him.

4 He calls to the heavens above,

to the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 "Gather my saints together to me,

those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness,

for God himself is judge. Selah.

7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak.

Israel, I will testify against you.

I am God, your God.

8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.

Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall,

nor male goats from your pens.

10 For every animal of the forest is mine,

and the livestock on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains.

The wild animals of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

13 Will I eat the meat of bulls,

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.

Pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call on me in the day of trouble.

I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

16 But to the wicked God says,

"What right do you have to declare my statutes,

that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

17 since you hate instruction,

and throw my words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him,

and have participated with adulterers.

19 "You give your mouth to evil.

Your tongue frames deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother.

You slander your own mother’s son.

21 You have done these things, and I kept silent.

You thought that I was just like you.

I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

22 "Now consider this, you who forget God,

lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,

and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him."

1 He himene na Ahapa. Kua puaki te kupu a te Atua, a te Atua tonu, a Ihowa, a karangatia ana e ia te whenua i te putanga mai o te ra, tae noa ki tona torengitanga.

2 Kua tiaho mai te Atua i roto i Hiona, i te tino o te ataahua.

3 Ka haere mai to tatou Atua, e kore ano e wahangu: ka kai te kapura i tona aroaro, a ka hukerikeri te awha ki tetahi taha ona, ki tetahi taha.

4 Ka karangatia e ia nga rangi i runga, me te whenua hoki, ki te whakaritenga mo tona iwi.

5 Huihuia mai ki ahau taku hunga tapu, te hunga i whakarite kawenata ki ahau i runga i te patunga tapu.

6 A ma nga rangi e whakakite tona tika: ko te Atua ake nei hoki te kaiwhakawa. (Hera.

7 Whakarongo, e toku iwi, a ka korero ahau; e Iharaira, ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe; ko ahau te Atua, ko tou Atua.

8 E kore ahau e riri ki a koe mo au patunga tapu; a kei toku aroaro tonu au tahunga tinana.

9 E kore ahau e tango i tetahi puru i roto i tou whare, i etahi koati toa ranei i roto i au taiepa.

10 Naku nei hoki nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere, nga kararehe i runga i te mano o nga pukepuke.

11 E matau ana ahau ki nga manu katoa o nga maunga; naku ano nga kirehe o te parae.

12 Me he matekai toku, e kore ahau e korero ki a koe: naku nei hoki te ao, me ona tini mea.

13 E kai koia ahau i te kikokiko o nga puru, e inu ranei i te toto o nga koati?

14 Ko te whakawhetai hei patunga tapu mau ki te Atua; whakamana hoki au kupu taurangi ki te Runga Rawa.

15 A karanga ki ahau i te ra o te he: maku koe e whakaora, a ka whakakororiatia ahau e koe.

16 Ki te tangata hara ia ka mea te Atua, He aha mau te whakapuaki i aku tikanga, te whakahua ranei i taku kawenata e tou mangai?

17 Kua kino nei hoki koe ki te ako, a e akiri ana i aku kupu ki muri i a koe.

18 I tou kitenga i te tahae, na whakaae ana koe ki a ia; a whai tahi ana me te hunga puremu.

19 Kua tukua e koe tou mangai ki te kino; a e tito hianga ana tou arero.

20 Noho ana koe, ka korero kino ki tou teina: ngautuara tonu iho koe ki te tama a tou whaea.

21 Ko au mahi enei, a wahangu tonu ahau; i mea koe he pena pu ahau me koe: otira ka riria koe e ahau, ka whakararangitia ano aua mea ki tou aroaro.

22 Na whakaaroa tenei, e te hunga kua wareware ki te Atua; kei haehaea koutou e ahau, a kahore he kaiwhakaora.

23 Ko te whakamoemiti te patunga tapu e whai kororia ai ahau: ko te tangata hoki he tika nei tona ara ka whakakitea e ahau ki a ia te whakaoranga a te Atua.
