¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.} Praise waiteth for thee in silence, 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 have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

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

⁴Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of 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 in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of 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 established the mountains, being girded with power;

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

⁷Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging 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.

⁸And they 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 hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

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 dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, 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 gladness.

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

¹³The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

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