He Whakawhetai mō ngā Mahi Miharo a te Atua
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Aratakiti. He hīmene, he waiata nā Āhapa.
1 Ka whakawhetai tonu mātou ki a koe, e te Atua,
ka whakawhetai tonu mātou; kei te tata mai hoki tōu ingoa.
E kōrerotia ana e te tangata āu mahi whakamīharo.
2 "Ka kitea e ahau te wā e rite ana,
ka tika tāku whakawā.
3 Kūteretere noa iho te whenua me ōna tāngata katoa;
nāku i whakatū ōna pou. Hera
4 I mea ahau ki te hunga whakakake, ‘Kāti rā te whakakake,’
ki te hunga hara anō, ‘Kaua e whakaarahia te haona;
5 kaua tō koutou haona e whakaarahia ki runga,
kāti te whakamārō i te kakī ina kōrero.’ "
6 Nō te mea kāhore he aranga i te rāwhiti,
kāhore i te hauāuru, kāhore hoki i te tonga.
7 Ko te Atua ia te kaiwhakawā;
ko tēnei e whakaititia iho ana e ia,
ko tērā e whakaarahia ake ana.
8 Kei te ringa hoki o Ihowā he kapu,
pāhuka tonu te wāina;
kī tonu, whakananu rawa,
hei ringihanga māna;
ko ngā nganga ia,
mā te hunga kino katoa o te whenua e tatau, e inu.
9 Ko ahau ia, ka kauwhau tonu;
ka hīmene ki te Atua o Hākopa.
10 Ā, ka kotia e ahau ngā haona katoa o te hunga kino;
ka whakaarahia ake ia ngā haona o te tangata tika.
For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
1 We give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, for thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2 When I shall find the set time,
I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah
4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly;
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high;
Speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.
7 But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth;
It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
9 But I will declare for ever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
