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!2 U 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.3 Ka titiro ahau ki au rangi, ki te mahi a ou maihao, ki te marama, ki nga whetu, i hanga nei e koe;4 He aha te tangata i maharatia ai e koe? te tama ranei a te tangata i tirohia ai ia e koe?5 Nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i te Atua, karaunatia ana ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore.6 Waiho iho e koe hei kingi mo nga mahi a ou ringa; kua waiho e koe nga mea katoa i raro i ona waewae;7 Nga hipi katoa, nga puru, me nga kirehe katoa o te parae;8 Te manu o te rangi, me te ika o te moana, e tere nei i nga ara o nga moana.9 E Ihowa, e to matou Ariki, ano te nui o tou ingoa i te whenua katoa!

1 To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.` A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.2 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.3 For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.4 What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?5 And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.6 Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!9 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
