¹¶ He himene na Ahapa. Kua puaki te kupu a te Atua, a te Atua tonu, a Ihowa, a karangatia ana e ia te whenua i te putanga mai o te ra, tae noa ki tona torengitanga.

¹{A Psalm. Of Asaph.} ùGod, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

²Kua tiaho mai te Atua i roto i Hiona, i te tino o te ataahua.

²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

³Ka haere mai to tatou Atua, e kore ano e wahangu: ka kai te kapura i tona aroaro, a ka hukerikeri te awha ki tetahi taha ona, ki tetahi taha.

³Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

⁴Ka karangatia e ia nga rangi i runga, me te whenua hoki, ki te whakaritenga mo tona iwi.

⁴He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁵Huihuia mai ki ahau taku hunga tapu, te hunga i whakarite kawenata ki ahau i runga i te patunga tapu.

⁵Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!

⁶A ma nga rangi e whakakite tona tika: ko te Atua ake nei hoki te kaiwhakawa. (Hera.

⁶And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. Selah.

⁷¶ Whakarongo, e toku iwi, a ka korero ahau; e Iharaira, ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe; ko ahau te Atua, ko tou Atua.

⁷Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.

⁸E kore ahau e riri ki a koe mo au patunga tapu; a kei toku aroaro tonu au tahunga tinana.

⁸I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;

⁹E kore ahau e tango i tetahi puru i roto i tou whare, i etahi koati toa ranei i roto i au taiepa.

⁹I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:

¹⁰Naku nei hoki nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere, nga kararehe i runga i te mano o nga pukepuke.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;

¹¹E matau ana ahau ki nga manu katoa o nga maunga; naku ano nga kirehe o te parae.

¹¹I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:

¹²Me he matekai toku, e kore ahau e korero ki a koe: naku nei hoki te ao, me ona tini mea.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³E kai koia ahau i te kikokiko o nga puru, e inu ranei i te toto o nga koati?

¹³Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴Ko te whakawhetai hei patunga tapu mau ki te Atua; whakamana hoki au kupu taurangi ki te Runga Rawa.

¹⁴Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;

¹⁵A karanga ki ahau i te ra o te he: maku koe e whakaora, a ka whakakororiatia ahau e koe.

¹⁵And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

¹⁶¶ Ki te tangata hara ia ka mea te Atua, He aha mau te whakapuaki i aku tikanga, te whakahua ranei i taku kawenata e tou mangai?

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

¹⁷Kua kino nei hoki koe ki te ako, a e akiri ana i aku kupu ki muri i a koe.

¹⁷Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

¹⁸I tou kitenga i te tahae, na whakaae ana koe ki a ia; a whai tahi ana me te hunga puremu.

¹⁸When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;

¹⁹Kua tukua e koe tou mangai ki te kino; a e tito hianga ana tou arero.

¹⁹Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;

²⁰Noho ana koe, ka korero kino ki tou teina: ngautuara tonu iho koe ki te tama a tou whaea.

²⁰Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:

²¹Ko au mahi enei, a wahangu tonu ahau; i mea koe he pena pu ahau me koe: otira ka riria koe e ahau, ka whakararangitia ano aua mea ki tou aroaro.

²¹These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

²²Na whakaaroa tenei, e te hunga kua wareware ki te Atua; kei haehaea koutou e ahau, a kahore he kaiwhakaora.

²²Now consider this, ye that forget +God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.

²³Ko te whakamoemiti te patunga tapu e whai kororia ai ahau: ko te tangata hoki he tika nei tona ara ka whakakitea e ahau ki a ia te whakaoranga a te Atua.

²³Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
