¹Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely.

¹¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki te himene ki to tatou Atua: ahuareka rawa, ataahua tonu te whakamoemiti.

²Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

²Ko Ihowa hei hanga i Hiruharama: mana hoki nga whati o Iharaira e kohikohi.

³He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

³Ko ia hei rongoa i te hunga ngakau maru: mana e takai o ratou wahi mamae.

⁴He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by [their] names.

⁴E taua ana e ia nga whetu, te maha: e huaina ana hoki e ia o ratou ingoa katoa.

⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

⁵He nui to tatou Ariki, he nui hoki tona kaha: e kore e taea tona matauranga te whakaaro.

⁶Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

⁶Ko Ihowa te kaitautoko mo te hunga mahaki: ka turakina e ia te hunga kino ki te whenua.

⁷Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,

⁷Waiata, whakawhetai ki a Ihowa: himene i runga i te hapa ki to tatou Atua:

⁸Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

⁸Ko ia nei te kaiuwhi i te rangi ki nga kapua, te kaihanga i te ua mo te whenua: e whakatupu ana ia i te tarutaru ki runga ki nga maunga.

⁹He giveth to the beast his food, [And] to the young ravens which cry.

⁹E homai ana e ia he kai ma te kirehe: ma nga pi raweni hoki ina tangi.

¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹⁰E kore ia e ahuareka ki te kaha o te hoiho: e kore ia e manako ki nga waewae o te tangata.

¹¹Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.

¹¹E manako ana a Ihowa ki te hunga e wehi ana i a ia, ki te hunga e tumanako ana ki tona aroha.

¹²Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

¹²¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, e Hiruharama: whakamoemititia tou Atua, e Hiona.

¹³For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

¹³Nana nei hoki i whakakaha nga tutaki o ou tatau: manaakitia ana e ia au tamariki i roto i a koe.

¹⁴He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

¹⁴Nana ano i mau ai te rongo i roto i ou rohe: nana koe i makona ai i te witi pai rawa.

¹⁵He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

¹⁵E tukua ana e ia tana kupu ki te whenua: tere rawa te rere o tana kupu.

¹⁶He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

¹⁶E homai ana e ia te hukarere ano he huruhuru hipi: e whakatitaritaria ana te haupapa ano he pungarehu.

¹⁷He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?

¹⁷Maka mai ana e ia tana hauhunga ano he maramara: ko wai e tu i mua i tana matao?

¹⁸He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

¹⁸E tukua ana e ia tana kupu, a whakarewaina ana aua mea: ka meinga tana hau kia pupuhi, rere ana nga wai.

¹⁹He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.

¹⁹E whakakitea ana e ia tana kupu ki a Hakopa; ana tikanga, me ana whakaritenga ki a Iharaira.

²⁰He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.

²⁰Kahore i pera tana hanga ki tetahi iwi; kihai ano ana whakaritenga i mohiotia e ratou. whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
