1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
1¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. E toku wairua, whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
2While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
2I ahau e ora nei ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki toku Atua i ahau i te ao nei.
3Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
3Kei whakawhirinaki ki nga rangatira, ki te tama ranei a te tangata, kahore nei he awhina.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
4Ko te putanga atu o tona wairua, hoki ana ia ki tona oneone; kore iho ona whakaaro i taua ra pu ano.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
5¶ Ka hari te tangata ko te Atua nei o Hakopa tona kaiawhina: ko tana e tumanako ai ko Ihowa, ko tona Atua;
6Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;
6Ko te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o nga mea katoa o reira; e pupuri nei i te pono ake ake;
7Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
7E tohe nei i te whakawa a te hunga e tukinotia ana: e whangai nei i te hunga mate hiakai: ko Ihowa hei wewete i nga herehere:
8Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
8Ko Ihowa hei whakatitiro i nga matapo: ko Ihowa hei whakaara i te hunga kua whakapikoa iho: e aroha ana a Ihowa ki te hunga tika.
9Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
9Ko Ihowa hei tiaki i nga manene; ko ia hei tautoko i te pani, i te pouaru: ko te ara ia o te hunga kino, ka huripokitia e ia.
10Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
10Ko Ihowa hei kingi ake ake, ae, ko tou Atua, e Hiona, tae noa ki nga whakatupuranga katoa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
