1 W hakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 H e nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

3 H e mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.

His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

4 K ua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.

He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

5 E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.

He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

6 K ua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.

He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 K o nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

8 U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.

He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

10 K o te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
