1 P raise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

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

2 T he name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.

Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.

3 F rom the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised the name of Jehovah.

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

4 H igh above all nations Jehovah, Above the heavens his honour.

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

5 W ho as Jehovah our God, He is exalting to sit?

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

6 H e is humbling to look On the heavens and on the earth.

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

7 H e is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

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 o cause to sit 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 C ausing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

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