¹Hallelujah! Praise 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.

²Ye that stand 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 psalms unto 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 Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

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

⁵For *I* know that Jehovah is great, and 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.

⁶Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

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.

⁷Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:

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 firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

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

⁹Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon 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 great nations, and slew mighty kings,

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

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

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

¹²And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

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

¹³Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

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

¹⁴For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

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, the work of men's hands:

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

¹⁶They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

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

¹⁷They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

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

¹⁸They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them.

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

¹⁹House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

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

²⁰House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

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

²¹Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

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