He Whakamoemiti ki te Kaihanga
1 Tēnā, kia waiata tātou ki a Ihowā;
kia hari te hāmama ki te kāmaka o tō tātou whakaoranga.
2 Kia haere tātou me te whakawhetai atu ki tōna aroaro;
kia ngahau hoki ā tātou hīmene ki a ia.
3 Nō te mea he Atua nui hoki a Ihowā,
he Kīngi nui i ngā atua katoa.
4 Kei tōna ringa ngā wāhi hōhonu o te whenua;
ā, nāna ngā maunga teitei.
5 Nāna te moana, nāna anō i hanga,
ā, nā ōna ringa i whai āhua ai te whenua maroke.
6 Haere mai tātou, kia koropiko, kia tuohu;
kia tukua ngā turi ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tō tātou Kaihanga.
7 Ko ia hoki tō tātou Atua;
ko tātou tāna iwi e hēpara ai,
ngā hipi a tōna ringa.
Ki te rongo koutou ki tōna reo āianei!
8 Kaua e whakapakeketia ō koutou ngākau,
kei pērā me o te whakatoinga,
me o te rā o te whakamātautauranga i te koraha;
9 i ahau i whakamātautauria e ō koutou mātua,
i āta mōhiotia, i tō rātou kitenga anō hoki i āku mahi.
10 E whā tekau ngā tau i hōhā ai ahau ki tēnei whakatupuranga,
nā, ka mea ahau; "He iwi ngākau kotiti kē rātou,
kāhore hoki rātou e mōhio ki āku ara."
11 Nā reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki;
"E kore rātou e tae ki tōku okiokinga."
1 Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For Jehovah is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it;
And his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
7 For he is our God,
And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!
8 Harden not your heart, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;
9 When your fathers tempted me,
Proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with that generation,
And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
And they have not known my ways:
11 Wherefore I sware in my wrath,
That they should not enter into my rest.
