1 P raise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord!

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia, e nga pononga a Ihowa, whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa.

2 B lessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore!

Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.

3 F rom the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord ’s name is to be praised.

Kia whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa i te putanga mai o te ra, a tae noa ki tona torengitanga.

4 T he Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.

Kei runga rawa a Ihowa i nga iwi katoa: kei runga ake i nga rangi tona kororia.

5 W ho is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high,

Ko wai te rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, kei runga nei tona nohoanga,

6 W ho humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

E whakaiti nei i a ia ki te titiro iho ki nga mea kei te rangi, kei te whenua?

7 H e raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,

E whakaara ake ana ia i te iti i roto i te puehu, e whakateitei ake ana i te rawakore i roto i te puranga paru;

8 T hat He may seat him with princes— With the princes of His people.

Kia whakanohoia ai e ia ki roto ki nga rangatira, ki nga rangatira o tana iwi.

9 H e grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!

Nana hoki te pakoko i whai whare ai, hei whaereere e koa ana ki ana tamariki. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
