¹IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:

¹¶ He himene, he waiata mo te ra Hapati. He mea pai te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, te himene atu ki tou ingoa, e te Runga Rawa:

²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

²Te whakakite i tou atawhai i te ata, i tou pono i nga po katoa;

³Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

³I runga i te aho tekau, i te hatere; i te tangi huatau a te hapa.

⁴For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

⁴Nau hoki ahau, e Ihowa, i whakahari ki tau mahi: ka whakamanamana ahau ki nga meatanga a ou ringa.

⁵O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

⁵Ano te nui o au mahi, e Ihowa! hohonu rawa ou whakaaro.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

⁶Ko te tangata poauau, kahore ia e matau; kahore hoki tenei e mohiotia e te kuware.

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

⁷¶ Kia pihi ake nga whakaarokore ano he tarutaru, a kia tupu nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; he ngaromanga tena no ratou ake ake;

⁸But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

⁸Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kei runga rawa ake ake.

⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

⁹Na, ko ou hoa whawhai, e Ihowa, na, ko ou hoa whawhai, ka ngaro; ka marara katoa nga kaimahi i te kino.

¹⁰But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁰Otira ka ara i a koe toku haona, ka pera i to te kau maka: ka whakawahia ahau ki te hinu hou.

¹¹Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

¹¹Ka kite hoki toku kanohi i taku i hiahia ai ki runga ki oku hoariri, ka rongo oku taringa i taku i hiahia ai o te hunga kino e whakatika ana mai ki ahau.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹²Ka rite te tupu o te tangata tika ki to te nikau; ka rite tona nui ki to te hita i Repanona.

¹³Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹³Ko te hunga i whakatokia ki te whare o Ihowa ka tupu ki nga marae o to tatou Atua.

¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

¹⁴Ka whai hua tonu ratou ua hina: ki tonu i te wai, matomato tonu;

¹⁵To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹⁵Hei whakakite i te tika o Ihowa: ko ia toku kohatu, kahore hoki ona he.
