¹¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata. Hamama, e te whenua katoa, ki te Atua:

¹{To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.} Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

²Himenetia te kororia o tona ingoa, kia whai kororia te whakamoemiti ki a ia.

²Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

³Mea atu ki te Atua, Ano te wehi o au mahi! Ma te nui o tou kaha e ngohengohe ai ou hoariri ki a koe.

³Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

⁴E koropiko katoa te whenua ki a koe; ka himene ki a koe; ka himene ratou ki tou ingoa. (Hera.

⁴All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

⁵Haere mai kia kite i nga mahi a te Atua: mataku rawa tana mahi ki nga tama a te tangata.

⁵Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.

⁶Nana i mea te moana hei tuawhenua: haere a waewae ana ratou ra roto i te awa; hari ana matou ki a ia i reira.

⁶He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

⁷Ko tona kawanatanga tuturu tonu i runga i tona kaha; e titiro ana ona kanohi ki nga tauiwi; kei whakakake te hunga tutu. (Hera.

⁷He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸¶ Whakapaingia to tatou Atua, e nga iwi; kia rangona te reo whakamoemiti ki a ia.

⁸Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

⁹Nana nei hoki i mau ai to tatou wairua ki te ora, kahore hoki e tukua e ia o tatou waewae kia nekehia.

⁹Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

¹⁰Kua whakamatauria hoki matou e koe, e te Atua: whakarewaia ana matou e koe, ano he hiriwa e whakarewaia ana.

¹⁰For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

¹¹Kua kawea nei matou e koe ki roto ki te kupenga: whakapikaua ana e koe te mea whakamamae ki o matou hope.

¹¹Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

¹²I meinga ano e koe o matou upoko kia ekengia hoihotia e te tangata; i ra roto matou i te kapura, i te wai: heoi whakaputaina mai ana matou e koe ki te wahi momona.

¹²Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

¹³¶ Ka tomo ahau me nga tahunga tinana ki tou whare; ka whakamana ahau i aku kupu taurangi ki a koe,

¹³I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

¹⁴Era i puaki i oku ngutu, i korerotia e toku mangai i ahau e pouri ana.

¹⁴Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

¹⁵Ka whakaekea e ahau mau nga mea momona hei tahunga tinana, ngatahi ano me te mea kakara o nga hipi toa; ka tukua e ahau he puru, he koati. (Hera.

¹⁵I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

¹⁶Haere mai, whakarongo, e koutou katoa e wehi ana ki te Atua, a maku e whakapuaki tana i mea ai ki toku wairua.

¹⁶Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

¹⁷I tangi toku mangai ki a ia: i whakanuia ano ia e toku arero.

¹⁷I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

¹⁸Ki te whakaaroa e toku ngakau te he, e kore te Ariki e whakarongo mai.

¹⁸Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

¹⁹Nei ra he pono kua whakarongo te Atua, kua tahuri ia ki toku reo inoi.

¹⁹But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Kia whakapaingia te Atua, kihai nei i whakapeau ke i taku inoi, i tana atawhai hoki ki ahau.

²⁰Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
