Salmos 104

Ko Ihowā te Kaihanga me te Kaiwhāngai

1 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua.

E Ihowā, e tōku Atua, he nui rawa koe.

He hōnore, he korōria ōu kākahu,

2 e roropi nei i te mārama ki a koe ānō he kākahu.

E hora nei i ngā rangi ānō he kākahu tauārai,

3 e whakanoho nei i ngā kurupae o ōna rūma ki ngā wai,

e mea nei i ngā kapua hei hāriata mōna,

e haere nei i runga i ngā pākau o te hau.

4 E mea nei i ngā hau hei karere māna,

i te mura ahi hei kaimahi māna.

5 Nāna nei i whakatū te whenua ki runga ki ōna tūranga,

kei nekenekehia ake ake.

6 Nāu anō i hīpoki ki te rire hei kākahu;

tū ana ngā wai i runga i ngā maunga.

7 Rere ana rātou i tāu riri;

tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tāu whatitiri.

8 Puke ake ana rā ngā maunga,

heke iho ana mā ngā whāwhārua

ki te wāhi i whakaritea e koe mō rātou.

9 Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai rātou,

kei hoki mai hei taupoki mō te whenua.

10 Nāna i tono ngā puna ki roto ki ngā awaawa,

e rere nei i waenga o ngā puke.

11 Hei wai mō ngā kīrehe katoa o te pārae;

nā noa te matewai o ngā kāihe mohoao.

12 Kei reira ngā nohoanga o ngā manu o te rangi,

e korihi nei i roto i ngā manga.

13 He mea whakamākūkū nāna ngā puke i ōna rūma;

ka mākona te whenua i ngā hua o āu mahi.

14 Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru mā te kararehe,

i te otaota hei mea mā te tangata,

kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua,

15 he wāina hei whakahari i te ngākau o te tangata,

he hinu e pīata ai tōna mata,

me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngākau o te tangata.

16 Kī tonu i te wai ngā rākau a Ihowā,

ngā hīta o Repanōna i whakatōkia e ia.

17 Hangā ake e ngā manu he ōhanga ki reira;

te tāka, ko ngā kauri tōna whare.

18 Hei piringa ngā puke tiketike mō ngā koati mohoao;

ngā kōhatu mō ngā rāpeti.

19 I hangā e ia te marama hei tohu tāima;

e mātau ana te rā ki tōna torengitanga.

20 Ko koe hei whakapōuri, ā, kua pō;

nā ngōki mai ana ngā kīrehe katoa o te ngahere.

21 Ko ngā kūao raiona ngengere ana rātou, he mea kai,

he rapu kai mā rātou i te Atua.

22 Ko te putanga mai o te rā ka poto atu rātou,

takoto ana i ō rātou kuhunga.

23 Ko te tangata ka haere ki āna hanga,

ki tāna mahi, ā ahiahi noa.

24 Anō te tini o āu mahi, e Ihowā!

He mōhio rawa tāu mahi i aua mea katoa;

kī tonu te whenua i āu taonga.

25 Kei kō rā ko te moana, tōna nui tuauriuri;

kei reira ngā mea ngōkingōki e kore e taea te tatau,

ngā kīrehe hoki, āna nonohi, āna nunui.

26 Kei reira ngā kaipuke e teretere ana;

kei reira taua rewiatana i hangā e koe hei tākaro ki reira.

27 E tatari katoa ana ēnei ki a koe,

kia hoatu e koe te kai mā rātou i te wā e tika ai;

28 ko tāu e hoatu ai mā rātou, kohikohia ana e rātou;

te wherahanga o tōu ringa, mākona tonu rātou i te pai.

29 Ko te hunanga o tōu mata, pororaru ana rātou;

ka kapohia e koe tō rātou manawa, ka marere rātou,

ā, ka hoki anō ki tō rātou puehu.

30 Ko tāu tononga mai i tōu wairua, kua hangā rātou;

ā, whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

31 Kia whai korōria a Ihowā ake ake,

kia hari a Ihowā ki āna mahi –

32 tāna tirohanga iho ki te whenua, rū ana;

kua pā ki ngā puke, nā, pongere ana.

33 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowā i ahau e ora ana;

ka hīmene ki tōku Atua i ahau anō i te ao nei.

34 Kia reka tōku whakaaronga ki a ia,

ka hari ahau ki a Ihowā.

35 Kia mōtī ngā tāngata hara i runga i te whenua,

ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu.

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua!

Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

O Jehovah my God, thou art very great;

Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;

Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;

Who maketh the clouds his chariot;

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

4 Who maketh winds his messengers;

Flames of fire his ministers;

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be moved for ever.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

They run among the mountains;

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

They sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,

And oil to make his face to shine,

And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.

16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture,

The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests:

As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;

The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons:

The sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night,

Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

And seek their food from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they get them away,

And lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work

And to his labor until the evening.

24 O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy riches.

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships;

There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

27 These wait all for thee,

That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather;

Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;

And thou renewest the face of the ground.

31 Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;

Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;

He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let my meditation be sweet unto him:

I will rejoice in Jehovah.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

And let the wicked be no more.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise ye Jehovah.
