3let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
4Kia koa nga tauiwi, kia waiata i te hari: no te mea ka tika tau whakawa mo nga iwi, a ka kawana koe i nga tauiwi o te whenua. (Hera.

6Kua tuku mai nei te whenua i ona hua; a ka manaaki te Atua, to tatou Atua, i a tatou.
6The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.
7Ka manaaki te Atua i a tatou; a ka wehi nga pito katoa o te whenua i a ia.
