¹¶ Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he nui rawa koe; he honore, he kororia ou kakahu.

¹Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

²E roropi nei i te marama ki a koe ano he kakahu, e hora nei i nga rangi ano he kakahu tauarai.

²He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³E whakanoho nei i nga kurupae o ona ruma ki nga wai: e mea nei i nga kapua hei hariata mona: e haere nei i runga i nga pakau o te hau.

³He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

⁴E mea nei i nga hau hei karere mana, i te mura ahi hei kaimahi mana.

⁴He makes his messengers or, angels winds; his servants flames of fire.

⁵Nana nei i whakatu te whenua ki runga ki ona turanga, kei nekenekehia ake ake.

⁵He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

⁶Nau ano i hipoki ki te rire hei kakahu: tu ana nga wai i runga i nga maunga.

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷Rere ana ratou i tau riri: tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tau whatitiri;

⁷At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸Puke ake ana ra nga maunga, heke iho ana ma nga whawharua ki te wahi i whakaritea e koe mo ratou.

⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai ratou, kei hoki mai hei taupoki mo te whenua.

⁹You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

¹⁰¶ Nana i tono nga puna ki roto ki nga awaawa, e rere nei i waenga o nga puke.

¹⁰He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

¹¹Hei wai mo nga kirehe katoa o te parae: na noa te matewai o nga kaihe mohoao.

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²Kei reira nga nohoanga o nga manu o te rangi, e korihi nei i roto i nga manga.

¹²The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹³He mea whakamakuku nana nga puke i ona ruma: ka makona te whenua i nga hua o au mahi.

¹³He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru ma te kararehe, i te otaota hei mea ma te tangata; kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua;

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

¹⁵He waina hei whakahari i te ngakau o te tangata, he hinu e piata ai tona mata, me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngakau o te tangata.

¹⁵wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

¹⁶Ki tonu i te wai nga rakau a Ihowa, nga hita o Repanona i whakatokia e ia.

¹⁶Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

¹⁷Hanga ake e nga manu he ohanga ki reira: te taaka, ko nga kauri tona whare.

¹⁷where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

¹⁸Hei piringa nga puke tiketike mo nga koati mohoao: nga kohatu mo nga rapeti.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁹¶ I hanga e ia te marama hei tohu taima: e matau ana te ra ki tona torengitanga.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

²⁰Ko koe hei whakapouri, a kua po: na ngoki mai ana nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere.

²⁰You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

²¹Ko nga kuao raiona ngengere ana ratou, he mea kai, he rapu kai ma ratou i te Atua.

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

²²Ko te putanga mai o te ra ka poto atu ratou, takoto ana i o ratou kuhunga.

²²The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens.

²³Ko te tangata ka haere ki ana hanga, ki tana mahi, a ahiahi noa.

²³Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.

²⁴Ano te tini o au mahi, e Ihowa! he mohio rawa tau mahi i aua mea katoa; ki tonu te whenua i au taonga.

²⁴Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

²⁵Kei ko ra ko te moana, tona nui tuauriuri: kei reira nga mea ngokingoki e kore e taea te tatau, nga kirehe hoki, ana nonohi, ana nunui.

²⁵There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

²⁶Kei reira nga kaipuke e teretere ana: kei reira taua rewiatana i hanga e koe hei takaro ki reira.

²⁶There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²⁷E tatari katoa ana enei ki a koe, kia hoatu e koe te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai.

²⁷These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

²⁸Ko tau e hoatu ai ma ratou, kohikohia ana e ratou: te wherahanga o tou ringa, makona tonu ratou i te pai.

²⁸You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

²⁹Ko te hunanga o tou mata, pororaru ana ratou: ka kapohia e koe to ratou manawa, ka marere ratou, a ka hoki ano ki to ratou puehu.

²⁹You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

³⁰Ko tau tononga mai i tou wairua, kua hanga ratou; a whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

³⁰You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

³¹¶ Kia whai kororia a Ihowa ake ake, kia hari a Ihowa ki ana mahi:

³¹Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

³²Tana tirohanga iho ki te whenua, ru ana: kua pa ki nga puke, na pongere ana.

³²He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa i ahau e ora ana: ka himene ki toku Atua i ahau ano i te ao nei.

³³I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³⁴Kia reka toku whakaaronga ki a ia, ka hari ahau ki a Ihowa.

³⁴Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

³⁵Kia moti nga tangata hara i runga i te whenua, ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu. Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
