1¶ Ko Ihowa te Kingi, kia hari te whenua, kia koa nga tini moutere.
1Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
2Ko te kapua me te pouri kei ona taha katoa: ko te tika, ko te whakawa, te turanga o tona torona.
2Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3He kapura e haere ana i mua i a ia, a pau ake ona hoariri a taka noa.
3Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
4Marama tonu te ao i ana uira: i kite te whenua, a wiri ana.
4Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
5Rewa noa nga maunga, ano he ware pi, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
5Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6E whakapuakina ana e nga rangi tona tika: a e kitea ana e nga iwi katoa tona kororia.
6The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
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.
7Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8¶ I rongo a Hiona, a koa ana: whakamanamana ana nga tamahine o Hura, e Ihowa, ki au whakaritenga.
8Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
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, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over 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 who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
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 for the upright of heart — joy.
12Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: whakamoemiti ki tona ingoa tapu.
12Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
