1 ¶ Aleph Halelu-JAH. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, Beth that delights greatly in his commandments.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.

2 G imel His seed shall be mighty upon earth; Daleth the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

3 H e Wealth and riches shall be in his house; Vau and his righteousness endures for ever.

Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake.

4 Z ain A light has shined in the darkness upon the upright: Cheth Gracious and merciful and righteous.

Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.

5 T eth A good man has mercy and lends; Jod He will govern his affairs with good judgment.

He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.

6 ¶ Caph Surely he shall not be moved for ever; Lamed the righteous shall be in eternal remembrance.

E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.

7 M em He shall not be afraid of evil rumours; Nun his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa.

8 S amech His heart is established; he shall not be afraid, Ain until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri.

9 P e He has dispersed; he has given to the poor; Tzaddi his righteousness endures for ever; Koph his horn shall be exalted in glory.

Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia.

10 R esh The wicked shall see it and be furious; Schin he shall gnash with his teeth and waste away: Tau The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.
