1¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia, e nga pononga a Ihowa, whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa.
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.
2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3Kia whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa i te putanga mai o te ra, a tae noa ki tona torengitanga.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
4Kei runga rawa a Ihowa i nga iwi katoa: kei runga ake i nga rangi tona kororia.
4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5Ko wai te rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, kei runga nei tona nohoanga,
5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6E whakaiti nei i a ia ki te titiro iho ki nga mea kei te rangi, kei te whenua?
6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7E whakaara ake ana ia i te iti i roto i te puehu, e whakateitei ake ana i te rawakore i roto i te puranga paru;
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8Kia whakanohoia ai e ia ki roto ki nga rangatira, ki nga rangatira o tana iwi.
8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9Nana hoki te pakoko i whai whare ai, hei whaereere e koa ana ki ana tamariki. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
