¹¶ Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; he pai hoki ia, he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

²Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

³Kia mea te whare o Arona, He pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

³Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

⁵I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i roto i te pouri: i whakahoki kupu mai a Ihowa ki ahau, i whakatu hoki i ahau ki te wahi whanui.

⁵Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

⁶Kei ahau a Ihowa; e kore ahau e wehi: he aha ta te tangata e mea ai ki ahau?

⁶Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

⁷Kei ahau a Ihowa kei roto i oku kaiawhina: no reira tera ahau e kite i taku i hiahia ai ki te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.

⁷Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

⁸Ko te whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, pai atu i te whakaaro ki te tangata.

⁸It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man.

⁹Ko te whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, pai atu i te okioki ki nga rangatira.

⁹It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰I karapotia ahau e nga iwi katoa: ka ngaro ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

¹⁰All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off.

¹¹I karapotia ahau e ratou: ae, i karapotia ahau e ratou: ka ngaro ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

¹¹They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off.

¹²Me te mea he pi ratou e mui ana ki ahau; kua pirau ratou ano he ahi tataramoa: i ngaro hoki ratou i ahau i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

¹²They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.

¹³Kaha pu tau turaki i ahau, kia hinga ai ahau: na Ihowa ia ahau i awhina mai.

¹³You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me.

¹⁴Ko Ihowa toku kaha, taku himene, ko ia ano toku whakaoranga.

¹⁴Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.

¹⁵He reo hari, he reo whakaoranga, kei nga tapenakara o te hunga tika: he maia nga mahi a te ringa matau o Ihowa.

¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.

¹⁶Kua whakanuia te matau o Ihowa: he maia nga mahi a te ringa matau o Ihowa.

¹⁶The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!”

¹⁷E kore ahau e mate, engari tera ahau e ora, hei whakapuaki i nga mahi a Ihowa.

¹⁷I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.

¹⁸I pakia rawatia ahau e Ihowa: otiia kihai ahau i tukua e ia kia mate.

¹⁸Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

¹⁹¶ Whakatuwheratia ki ahau nga kuwaha o te tika: ka tomo ahau ki roto, ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.

²⁰Ko te kuwaha tenei o Ihowa: ka tomo te hunga tika ki reira.

²⁰This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous will enter into it.

²¹Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe, mou i whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau, kua meinga hoki ko koe hei whakaora moku.

²¹I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.

²²Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga hei upoko mo te kokonga.

²³Na Ihowa tenei: he mea miharo ki o tatou kanohi.

²³This is Yahweh’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴Ko te ra tenei i hanga e Ihowa kia whakamanamana, kia koa tatou i reira.

²⁴This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

²⁵Whakaorangia ra aianei, e Ihowa: tena ra, e Ihowa, homai he ngahuru ki a matou.

²⁵Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh! Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now.

²⁶Kia whakapaingia te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: kua whakapaingia koutou e matou i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

²⁶Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.

²⁷Ko Ihowa te Atua, a nana i homai te marama ki a tatou: herea te patunga tapu ki nga aho, ki nga haona ra ano o te aata.

²⁷Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

²⁸Ko koe toku Atua, maku koe e whakamoemiti: toku Atua, maku koe e whakanui.

²⁸You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.

²⁹Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; he pai hoki ia: he pumau tonu tana mahi tohu.

²⁹Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
