Salmos 33

Te Ngari me te Pai o te Atua

1 Kia hari ki a Ihowā, e te hunga tika;

he mea ātaahua te whakamoemiti mā te hunga kore hē.

2 Whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā i runga i te hāpa;

hīmene ki a ia i runga i te hātere kotahi tekau nei ngā aho.

3 Waiatatia ki a ia he waiata hou;

kia tika te whakatangi, kia nui te reo.

4 Nō te mea he tika te kupu a Ihowā,

ā, kei runga i te pono āna mahi katoa.

5 E paingia ana e ia te tika me te whakawā;

kī tonu te whenua i te atawhai a Ihowā.

6 Nā te kupu a Ihowā ngā rangi i hanga;

ko ngā mano katoa hoki o reira nā te hā o tōna māngai.

7 He mea huihui e ia ngā wai o te moana, ānō he pūranga;

he mea whawhao e ia te rire ki ngā pākoro.

8 Kia wehi te whenua katoa ki a Ihowā;

kia ohooho ngā tāngata katoa o te ao ki a ia.

9 I kī hoki ia, ā, kua oti;

i whakahau, ā, tū tonu iho.

10 E whakatakā ana e Ihowā te whakaaro o ngā tauiwi;

e whakakāhoretia ana e ia ngā meatanga a ngā iwi.

11 Ko te whakaaro o Ihowā, tū tonu ake ake;

ko ngā meatanga a tōna ngākau kei tēnā whakatupuranga,

kei tēnā whakatupuranga.

12 Ka hari te iwi nō rātou nei Atua a Ihowā,

te iwi kua whiriwhiria e ia hei taonga tupu mōna.

13 E titiro iho ana a Ihowā i te rangi;

e kite ana ia i ngā tama katoa a te tangata.

14 Kei tōna wāhi nohoanga ia e mātakitaki iho ana

ki ngā tāngata katoa o te whenua.

15 Nāna i hanga ngā ngākau o rātou katoa,

e mōhiotia ana e ia ā rātou mahi katoa.

16 E kore tētahi kīngi e ora i te nui o te ope,

e kore e ora te mārohirohi i te nui o te kaha.

17 He mea teka te hōiho hei whakaora;

ehara anō tōna kaha nui i te mea e mawhiti ai.

18 Nanā, kei runga i te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te kanohi o Ihowā,

kei te hunga e tūmanako ana ki tāna mahi tohu;

19 hei whakaora i ō rātou wairua kei mate,

hei mea i a rātou kia ora i te wā o te hemokai.

20 Kua tatari nei ō tātou wairua ki a Ihowā;

ko ia tō tātou kaiāwhina, tō tātou whakangungu rākau.

21 Hari tonu tō tātou ngākau ki a ia;

nō tātou hoki i whakawhirinaki ki tōna ingoa tapu.

22 E Ihowā, hei runga i a mātou tāu mahi tohu;

kia rite hoki ki tā mātou tūmanako ki a koe.

1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous:

Praise is comely for the upright.

2 Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp:

Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.

3 Sing unto him a new song;

Play skilfully with a loud noise.

4 For the word of Jehovah is right;

And all his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loveth righteousness and justice:

The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.

6 By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,

And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:

He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah:

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast.

10 Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;

He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever,

The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah,

The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 Jehovah looketh from heaven;

He beholdeth all the sons of men;

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth

Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,

That considereth all their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:

A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17 A horse is a vain thing for safety;

Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him,

Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

19 To deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:

He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in him,

Because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,

According as we have hoped in thee.
