1¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.
1Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.
2Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake.
3Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.
4Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.
5Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6¶ E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.
6For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa.
7Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri.
8Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia.
9He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
10Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.
10The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
