1 T o You belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. E taria ana koe, e te Atua, e te whakamoemiti i Hiona: a ka whakamana te kupu taurangi ki a koe.

2 O You Who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come.

E te kaiwhakarongo inoi, e haere nga kikokiko katoa ki a koe.

3 I niquities and much varied guilt prevail against me; as for our transgressions, You forgive and purge them away!

E kaha ake ana i ahau nga kino: a matou mahi tutu, mau ena e hipoki.

4 B lessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

Ka hari te tangata e whiriwhiria e koe, e meatia e koe kia tata atu ki a koe, kia noho i roto i ou marae: ka makona matou i te pai o tou whare, o tou temepara tapu.

5 B y fearful and glorious things do You answer us in righteousness (rightness and justice), O God of our salvation, You Who are the confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas;

He mea whakawehi, he tapu, tau utu kupu ki a matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, e te okiokinga o nga pito katoa o te whenua, o te hunga hoki i tawhiti i runga o te moana;

6 W ho by might have founded the mountains, being girded with power,

E whakau nei i nga maunga, he kaha hoki nona; tona whitiki nei he kaha.

7 W ho still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples,

E whakamarie nei i te haruru o nga moana, i te haruru o o ratou ngaru, i te ngangau hoki o nga iwi.

8 S o that those who dwell in earth’s farthest parts are afraid of signs of Your presence. You make the places where morning and evening have birth to shout for joy.

Ka wehi ano ki au tohu te hunga e noho ana i nga pito rawa: hari ana i a koe nga putake o te ata, o te ahiahi.

9 Y ou visit the earth and saturate it with water; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide them with grain when You have so prepared the earth.

E tirotirohia ana e koe te whenua, e whakamakukuria ana, e whakamomonatia nuitia ana e koe; ki tonu te awa o te Atua i te wai: oti rawa ake te whakapai e koe, kua rite mai i a koe he witi mo aua wahi.

10 Y ou water the field’s furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation.

Makuku rawa i a koe ona moa, pe ana i a koe ona tupuke: e whakangawaritia ana e koe ki nga ua: e manaakitia ana e koe tona pihinga ake.

11 Y ou crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your drip with fatness.

E karaunatia ana e koe te tau ki tou pai; e maturuturu ana hoki te momonatanga o ou ara.

12 T he pastures in the uncultivated country drip, and the hills gird themselves with joy.

E maturuturu ana ki nga wahi kai o te koraha: a whitikiria ana nga pukepuke ki te koa.

13 T he meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together.

He hipi te kakahu o nga wahi kai; ngaro ana nga raorao i te witi; hamama ana ratou i te hari, waiata ana.
