¹Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

¹¶ Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he nui rawa koe; he honore, he kororia ou kakahu.

²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

²E roropi nei i te marama ki a koe ano he kakahu, e hora nei i nga rangi ano he kakahu tauarai.

³Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

³E whakanoho nei i nga kurupae o ona ruma ki nga wai: e mea nei i nga kapua hei hariata mona: e haere nei i runga i nga pakau o te hau.

⁴Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;

⁴E mea nei i nga hau hei karere mana, i te mura ahi hei kaimahi mana.

⁵Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.

⁵Nana nei i whakatu te whenua ki runga ki ona turanga, kei nekenekehia ake ake.

⁶Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

⁶Nau ano i hipoki ki te rire hei kakahu: tu ana nga wai i runga i nga maunga.

⁷At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

⁷Rere ana ratou i tau riri: tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tau whatitiri;

⁸(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

⁸Puke ake ana ra nga maunga, heke iho ana ma nga whawharua ki te wahi i whakaritea e koe mo ratou.

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

⁹Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai ratou, kei hoki mai hei taupoki mo te whenua.

¹⁰He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

¹⁰¶ Nana i tono nga puna ki roto ki nga awaawa, e rere nei i waenga o nga puke.

¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.

¹¹Hei wai mo nga kirehe katoa o te parae: na noa te matewai o nga kaihe mohoao.

¹²By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

¹²Kei reira nga nohoanga o nga manu o te rangi, e korihi nei i roto i nga manga.

¹³He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

¹³He mea whakamakuku nana nga puke i ona ruma: ka makona te whenua i nga hua o au mahi.

¹⁴He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

¹⁴Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru ma te kararehe, i te otaota hei mea ma te tangata; kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua;

¹⁵And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [And] oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

¹⁵He waina hei whakahari i te ngakau o te tangata, he hinu e piata ai tona mata, me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngakau o te tangata.

¹⁶The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

¹⁶Ki tonu i te wai nga rakau a Ihowa, nga hita o Repanona i whakatokia e ia.

¹⁷Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

¹⁷Hanga ake e nga manu he ohanga ki reira: te taaka, ko nga kauri tona whare.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

¹⁸Hei piringa nga puke tiketike mo nga koati mohoao: nga kohatu mo nga rapeti.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

¹⁹¶ I hanga e ia te marama hei tohu taima: e matau ana te ra ki tona torengitanga.

²⁰Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

²⁰Ko koe hei whakapouri, a kua po: na ngoki mai ana nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere.

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

²¹Ko nga kuao raiona ngengere ana ratou, he mea kai, he rapu kai ma ratou i te Atua.

²²The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

²²Ko te putanga mai o te ra ka poto atu ratou, takoto ana i o ratou kuhunga.

²³Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.

²³Ko te tangata ka haere ki ana hanga, ki tana mahi, a ahiahi noa.

²⁴O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.

²⁴Ano te tini o au mahi, e Ihowa! he mohio rawa tau mahi i aua mea katoa; ki tonu te whenua i au taonga.

²⁵Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.

²⁵Kei ko ra ko te moana, tona nui tuauriuri: kei reira nga mea ngokingoki e kore e taea te tatau, nga kirehe hoki, ana nonohi, ana nunui.

²⁶There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

²⁶Kei reira nga kaipuke e teretere ana: kei reira taua rewiatana i hanga e koe hei takaro ki reira.

²⁷These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

²⁷E tatari katoa ana enei ki a koe, kia hoatu e koe te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai.

²⁸Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

²⁸Ko tau e hoatu ai ma ratou, kohikohia ana e ratou: te wherahanga o tou ringa, makona tonu ratou i te pai.

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

²⁹Ko te hunanga o tou mata, pororaru ana ratou: ka kapohia e koe to ratou manawa, ka marere ratou, a ka hoki ano ki to ratou puehu.

³⁰Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

³⁰Ko tau tononga mai i tou wairua, kua hanga ratou; a whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

³¹Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

³¹¶ Kia whai kororia a Ihowa ake ake, kia hari a Ihowa ki ana mahi:

³²Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

³²Tana tirohanga iho ki te whenua, ru ana: kua pa ki nga puke, na pongere ana.

³³I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³³Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa i ahau e ora ana: ka himene ki toku Atua i ahau ano i te ao nei.

³⁴Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

³⁴Kia reka toku whakaaronga ki a ia, ka hari ahau ki a Ihowa.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.

³⁵Kia moti nga tangata hara i runga i te whenua, ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu. Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
