1 E kingi ana a Ihowa; he kororia tona kakahu; he kakahu to Ihowa, he mea whitiki ia ki te kaha: kua u hoki te ao, te taea te nekeneke.

Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

2 N o mua iho tou torona i whakapumautia ai: nonamata riro koe.

Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.

3 K o nga roma, e Ihowa, kua ara, nga roma nei, kua ara to ratou reo; ka ara nga ngaru o nga roma.

The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves.

4 I runga ake i nga reo o nga wai maha, i nga tuatea nunui o te moana, ko Ihowa i runga, te mea kaha.

Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty.

5 P ono atu au whakaaturanga: he huatau te tapu mo tou whare, e Ihowa, mo ake tonu atu.

Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.
