1 P raise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.

2 M ighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

3 W ealth and riches in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

4 L ight hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and 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 G ood the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters 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 -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

7 O f an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

8 S ustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on 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 hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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 seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

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