¹Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.

¹¶ Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: he mea ataahua te whakamoemiti ma te hunga kore he.

²Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

²Whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa i runga i te hapa; himene ki a ia i runga i te hatere kotahi tekau nei nga aho.

³Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.

³Waiatatia ki a ia he waiata hou: kia tika te whakatangi, kia nui te reo.

⁴For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.

⁴No te mea he tika te kupu a Ihowa, a kei runga i te pono ana mahi katoa.

⁵He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.

⁵E paingia ana e ia te tika me te whakawa: ki tonu te whenua i te atawhai a Ihowa.

⁶By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁶Na te kupu a Ihowa nga rangi i hanga; ko nga mano katoa hoki o reira na te ha o tona mangai.

⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

⁷He mea huihui e ia nga wai o te moana, ano he puranga; he mea whawhao e ia te rire ki nga pakoro.

⁸Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁸Kia wehi te whenua katoa ki a Ihowa; kia ohooho nga tangata katoa o te ao ki a ia.

⁹For *he* spoke, and it was [done]; *he* commanded, and it stood fast.

⁹I ki hoki ia, a kua oti: i whakahau, a tu tonu iho.

¹⁰Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.

¹⁰E whakataka ana e Ihowa te whakaaro o nga tauiwi: e whakakahoretia ana e ia nga meatanga a nga iwi.

¹¹The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

¹¹Ko te whakaaro o Ihowa, tu tonu ake ake; ko nga meatanga a tona ngakau kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!

¹²¶ Ka hari te iwi no ratou nei Atua a Ihowa, te iwi kua whiriwhiria e ia hei taonga tupu mona.

¹³Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:

¹³E titiro iho ana a Ihowa i te rangi: e kite ana ia i nga tama katoa a te tangata.

¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁴Kei tona wahi nohoanga ia e matakitaki iho ana ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.

¹⁵He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.

¹⁵Nana i hanga nga ngakau o ratou katoa, e mohiotia ana e ia a ratou mahi katoa.

¹⁶The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁶E kore tetahi kingi e ora i te nui o te ope, e kore e ora te marohirohi i te nui o te kaha.

¹⁷The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.

¹⁷He mea teka te hoiho hei whakaora; ehara ano tona kaha nui i te mea e mawhiti ai.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,

¹⁸Nana, kei runga i te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te kanohi o Ihowa, kei te hunga e tumanako ana ki tana mahi tohu;

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

¹⁹Hei whakaora i o ratou wairua kei mate, hei mea i a ratou kia ora i te wa o te hemokai.

²⁰Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.

²⁰Kua tatari nei o tatou wairua ki a Ihowa; ko ia to tatou kaiawhina, to tatou whakangungu rakau.

²¹For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.

²¹Hari tonu to tatou ngakau ki a ia; no tatou hoki i whakawhirinaki ki tona ingoa tapu.

²²Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

²²E Ihowa, hei runga i a matou tau mahi tohu; kia rite hoki ki ta matou tumanako ki a koe.
