1 H is foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

He himene, he waiata ma nga tama a Koraha. Kei nga maunga tapu tona turanga:

2 J ehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

E arohaina rawatia ana e Ihowa nga kuwaha o Hiona i nga nohoanga katoa o Hakopa.

3 G lorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

He mea kororia nga mea e korerotia ana mou, e te pa o te Atua. (Hera.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this was born there.

Ka korerotia e ahau a Rahapa raua ko Papurona ki roto i te hunga e matau ana ki ahau: tirohia atu a Pirihitia, a Taira, a Etiopia; i whanau tenei ki reira.

5 A nd of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

Ae ra ko te kupu tenei mo Hiona, I whanau tenei me tera ki reira: ma te Runga Rawa pu ano ia e whakapumau.

6 J ehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This was born there. Selah.

Ka korerotia e Ihowa, ina tuhituhia nga iwi, I whanau tenei ki reira. (Hera.

7 A s well the singers as the dancers, All my springs are in thee.

Na ka mea te hunga waiata, me te hunga kanikani, Kei a koe oku puna katoa.
