¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.

¹¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. E taria ana koe, e te Atua, e te whakamoemiti i Hiona: a ka whakamana te kupu taurangi ki a koe.

²O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.

²E te kaiwhakarongo inoi, e haere nga kikokiko katoa ki a koe.

³Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

³E kaha ake ana i ahau nga kino: a matou mahi tutu, mau ena e hipoki.

⁴Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.

⁴Ka hari te tangata e whiriwhiria e koe, e meatia e koe kia tata atu ki a koe, kia noho i roto i ou marae: ka makona matou i te pai o tou whare, o tou temepara tapu.

⁵By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

⁵He mea whakawehi, he tapu, tau utu kupu ki a matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, e te okiokinga o nga pito katoa o te whenua, o te hunga hoki i tawhiti i runga o te moana;

⁶Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;

⁶¶ E whakau nei i nga maunga, he kaha hoki nona; tona whitiki nei he kaha.

⁷Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

⁷E whakamarie nei i te haruru o nga moana, i te haruru o o ratou ngaru, i te ngangau hoki o nga iwi.

⁸They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁸Ka wehi ano ki au tohu te hunga e noho ana i nga pito rawa: hari ana i a koe nga putake o te ata, o te ahiahi.

⁹Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

⁹E tirotirohia ana e koe te whenua, e whakamakukuria ana, e whakamomonatia nuitia ana e koe; ki tonu te awa o te Atua i te wai: oti rawa ake te whakapai e koe, kua rite mai i a koe he witi mo aua wahi.

¹⁰Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.

¹⁰Makuku rawa i a koe ona moa, pe ana i a koe ona tupuke: e whakangawaritia ana e koe ki nga ua: e manaakitia ana e koe tona pihinga ake.

¹¹Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.

¹¹E karaunatia ana e koe te tau ki tou pai; e maturuturu ana hoki te momonatanga o ou ara.

¹²They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.

¹²E maturuturu ana ki nga wahi kai o te koraha: a whitikiria ana nga pukepuke ki te koa.

¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.

¹³He hipi te kakahu o nga wahi kai; ngaro ana nga raorao i te witi; hamama ana ratou i te hari, waiata ana.
