¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

¹¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa; whakamoemititia ia, e nga pononga a Ihowa.

²Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

²E koutou e tu nei i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i nga marae o te whare o to tatou Atua.

³Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.

³Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki a Ihowa; himene atu ki tona ingoa; he mea ahuareka hoki tena.

⁴For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

⁴Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hakopa mana, a Iharaira hei tino taonga mona.

⁵For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.

⁵¶ E matau ana hoki ahau he nui a Ihowa: kei runga atu hoki to tatou Ariki i nga atua katoa.

⁶All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

⁶Ko nga mea katoa i pai ai a Ihowa, kua oti i a ia, i te rangi, i te whenua, i nga moana, i nga wahi hohonu katoa.

⁷Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

⁷Nana i pupu ake ai nga kohu i nga pito o te whenua: i hanga e ia nga uira mo te ua; e whakaputaina mai ana e ia te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.

⁸Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

⁸Nana nei i patu nga matamua o Ihipa, a te tangata, a te kararehe;

⁹He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

⁹I tonoa e ia he tohu, he merekara ki waenganui ou, e Ihipa: ki runga ki a Parao ratou ko ana pononga katoa.

¹⁰Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

¹⁰Nana i patu nga iwi maha, i whakamate nga kingi rarahi;

¹¹Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

¹¹A Hihona kingi o nga Amori, a Oka kingi o Pahana, me nga rangatiratanga katoa o Kanaana;

¹²And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

¹²A homai ana e ia to ratou whenua hei kainga pumau, hei kainga pumau mo Iharaira, mo tana iwi.

¹³O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.

¹³E Ihowa, pumau tonu tou ingoa, me tou maharatanga, e Ihowa, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.

¹⁴For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

¹⁴Ka whakawa hoki a Ihowa mo tana iwi; a ka puta ke tona whakaaro ki ana pononga.

¹⁵The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

¹⁵¶ He hiriwa, he koura nga whakapakoko a nga tauiwi, he mahi na te ringa tangata.

¹⁶A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

¹⁶He mangai o ratou, a kahore e korero: he kanohi o ratou, a kahore e kite:

¹⁷Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!

¹⁷He taringa o ratou, a kahore e rongo: kahore ano he manawa i o ratou mangai.

¹⁸Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

¹⁸Ka rite ki a ratou te hunga nana ratou i hanga; ae, me nga tangata katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ratou.

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,

¹⁹Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Iharaira; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Arona;

²⁰O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

²⁰Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Riwai; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa;

²¹Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!

²¹Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i roto i Hiona, e noho nei i Hiruharama. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.
