¹I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

¹¶ He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. I koa ahau i ta ratou meatanga mai ki ahau; Tatou ka haere ki te whare o Ihowa.

²Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

²E tu ana o matou waewae ki ou tatau, e Hiruharama:

³Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

³Ko te hanganga o Hiruharama, rite tonu ki to te pa kua tuhonohonoa ki a ia ano..

⁴Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

⁴Haereere ana ki reira nga iwi, nga iwi o Ihowa, ki to Iharaira whakaaturanga, ki te whakawhetai ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

⁵For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

⁵Kua whakaturia hoki ki reira nga torona whakawa, nga torona o te whare o Rawiri.

⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

⁶¶ Inoia he ata noho mo Hiruharama: ka whiwhi ki te pai te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe.

⁷Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

⁷Kia mau te rongo ki ou taiepa, me te pai ki ou whare kingi.

⁸For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

⁸He mea mo oku teina, mo oku hoa, taku e mea nei, Kia mau te rongo ki roto ki a koe.

⁹Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

⁹He whakaaro ki te whare o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka rapu ahau i te pai mou.
