1 P raise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who 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 H is offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

3 W ealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

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

4 L ight dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, 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 I t is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

6 F or he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

7 H e will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.

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

8 H is heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

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

9 H e has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

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 T he wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

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