¹¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

²Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.

²Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

³Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.

³Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

⁴Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.

⁴Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.

⁵They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

⁶Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.

⁶And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

⁷¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;

⁷Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

⁸E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;

⁸Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

⁹E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;

⁹The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

¹⁰E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:

¹⁰The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

¹¹E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:

¹¹Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

¹²E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:

¹²Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

¹³Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.

¹³They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.

¹⁴Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

¹⁴And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
