1 J ehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

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.

2 E stablished is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou.

No mua iho tou torona i whakapumautia ai: nonamata riro koe.

3 F loods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

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

4 T han the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high Jehovah,

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

5 T hy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

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