1Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
1¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia, e nga pononga a Ihowa, whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa.
2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
2Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
3Kia whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa i te putanga mai o te ra, a tae noa ki tona torengitanga.
4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
4Kei runga rawa a Ihowa i nga iwi katoa: kei runga ake i nga rangi tona kororia.
5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
5Ko wai te rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, kei runga nei tona nohoanga,
6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
6E whakaiti nei i a ia ki te titiro iho ki nga mea kei te rangi, kei te whenua?
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
7E 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;
8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
8Kia whakanohoia ai e ia ki roto ki nga rangatira, ki nga rangatira o tana iwi.
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
9Nana hoki te pakoko i whai whare ai, hei whaereere e koa ana ki ana tamariki. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
