Salmos 146

He Whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā te Kaiwhakaora

1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

E tōku wairua, whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

2 I ahau e ora nei ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a Ihowā;

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

3 Kei whakawhirinaki ki ngā rangatira,

ki te tama rānei a te tangata, kāhore nei he āwhina.

4 Ko te putanga atu o tōna wairua, hoki ana ia ki tōna oneone;

kore iho ōna whakaaro i taua rā pū anō.

5 Ka hari te tangata ko te Atua nei o Hākopa tōna kaiāwhina;

ko tāna e tūmanako ai ko Ihowā, ko tōna Atua;

6 ko te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana,

o ngā mea katoa o reira;

e pupuri nei i te pono ake ake;

7 e tohe nei i te whakawā a te hunga e tūkinotia ana;

e whāngai nei i te hunga mate hiakai.

Ko Ihowā hei wewete i ngā herehere;

8 ko Ihowā hei whakatitiro i ngā matapō.

Ko Ihowā hei whakaara i te hunga kua whakapikoa iho;

e aroha ana a Ihowā ki te hunga tika.

9 Ko Ihowā hei tiaki i ngā manene;

ko ia hei tautoko i te pani, i te pouaru;

ko te ara ia o te hunga kino, ka huripokitia e ia.

10 Ko Ihowā hei kīngi ake ake,

āe, ko tōu Atua, e Hiona, tae noa ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise Jehovah:

I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes,

Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;

In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,

Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

6 Who made heaven and earth,

The sea, and all that in them is;

Who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed;

Who giveth food to the hungry.

Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;

Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;

Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;

He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;

But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever,

Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

Praise ye Jehovah.
