¹Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!

¹¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, e to matou Ariki, ano te nui o tou ingoa i te whenua katoa! Paku ana i a koe tou kororia ki runga ake i nga rangi!

²From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

²U pu i a koe te kaha o te mangai o nga kohungahunga, o nga mea ngote u hei mea mo ou hoariri, hei pehi mo te hoariri, mo te kairapu utu.

³When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

³¶ Ka titiro ahau ki au rangi, ki te mahi a ou maihao, ki te marama, ki nga whetu, i hanga nei e koe;

⁴what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

⁴He aha te tangata i maharatia ai e koe? te tama ranei a te tangata i tirohia ai ia e koe?

⁵For you have made him a little lower than God, Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means “God,” but can also mean “gods,” “princes,” or “angels.” and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁵Nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i te Atua, karaunatia ana ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore.

⁶You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

⁶Waiho iho e koe hei kingi mo nga mahi a ou ringa; kua waiho e koe nga mea katoa i raro i ona waewae;

⁷All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

⁷Nga hipi katoa, nga puru, me nga kirehe katoa o te parae;

⁸The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁸Te manu o te rangi, me te ika o te moana, e tere nei i nga ara o nga moana.

⁹Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

⁹E Ihowa, e to matou Ariki, ano te nui o tou ingoa i te whenua katoa!
