1 W hakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia te Atua i tona wahi tapu: whakamoemititia ia i te kikorangi o tona kaha.

Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power!

2 W hakamoemititia ia mo ana mahi nunui: kia rite ki te hira o tona nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia.

Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!

3 W hakamoemititia ia i runga i te tangi o te tetere: whakamoemititia ia i runga i te hatere, i te hapa.

Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!

4 W hakamoemititia ia i runga i te timipera, i te kanikani: whakamoemititia ia i runga i nga mea aho, i nga okana.

Praise Him with tambourine and dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!

5 W hakamoemititia ia i runga i te himipora tangi nui: whakamoemititia ia i runga i te himipora tangi tiori.

Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!

6 E nga mea katoa e whai manawa ana, whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
