¹¶ Ko Ihowa te Kingi, kia hari te whenua, kia koa nga tini moutere.

¹The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

²Ko te kapua me te pouri kei ona taha katoa: ko te tika, ko te whakawa, te turanga o tona torona.

²Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

³He kapura e haere ana i mua i a ia, a pau ake ona hoariri a taka noa.

³A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

⁴Marama tonu te ao i ana uira: i kite te whenua, a wiri ana.

⁴His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

⁵Rewa noa nga maunga, ano he ware pi, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.

⁵The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶E whakapuakina ana e nga rangi tona tika: a e kitea ana e nga iwi katoa tona kororia.

⁶The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

⁷Kia whakama katoa te hunga e mahi ana ki nga whakapakoko, e whakamanamana ana ki nga atua horihori: koropiko ki a ia, e nga atua katoa.

⁷Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

⁸¶ I rongo a Hiona, a koa ana: whakamanamana ana nga tamahine o Hura, e Ihowa, ki au whakaritenga.

⁸Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

⁹Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, kei runga noa ake i te whenua katoa: kua whakanuia koe ki runga noa ake i nga atua katoa.

⁹For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰E te hunga e aroha ana ki a Ihowa, e kino ki te he: e tiakina ana e ia nga wairua o tana hunga tapu; e whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i nga ringa o te hunga kino.

¹⁰Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Kua oti te marama te whakato mo te hunga tika: me te koa mo te hunga ngakau tapatahi.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹²Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: whakamoemiti ki tona ingoa tapu.

¹²Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
