1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

Whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowā;

whakamoemititia ia, e ngā pononga a Ihowā,

2 e koutou e tū nei i roto i te whare o Ihowā,

i ngā marae o te whare o tō tātou Atua.

3 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā; he pai hoki a Ihowā;

hīmene atu ki tōna ingoa; he mea āhuareka hoki tēnā.

4 Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowā a Hākopa māna,

a Īharaira hei tino taonga mōna.

5 E mātau ana hoki ahau he nui a Ihowā;

kei runga atu hoki tō tātou Ariki i ngā atua katoa.

6 Ko ngā mea katoa i pai ai a Ihowā, kua oti i a ia,

i te rangi, i te whenua,

i ngā moana, i ngā wāhi hōhonu katoa.

7 Nāna i pupū ake ai ngā kohu i ngā pito o te whenua;

i hangā e ia ngā uira mō te ua;

e whakaputaina mai ana e ia te hau i roto i ōna whare taonga.

8 Nāna nei i patu ngā mātāmua o Īhipa,

a te tangata, a te kararehe;

9 i tonoa e ia he tohu, he merekara

ki waenganui ōu, e Īhipa;

ki runga ki a Parao rātou ko āna pononga katoa.

10 Nāna i patu ngā iwi maha,

i whakamate ngā kīngi rarahi –

11 a Hihona kīngi o ngā Amori,

a Oka kīngi o Pahana,

me ngā rangatiratanga katoa o Kanaana –

12 ā, hōmai ana e ia tō rātou whenua hei kāinga pūmau,

hei kāinga pūmau mō Īharaira, mō tāna iwi.

13 E Ihowā, pūmau tonu tōu ingoa,

me tōu maharatanga, e Ihowā, ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa.

14 Ka whakawā hoki a Ihowā mō tāna iwi;

ā, ka puta kē tōna whakaaro ki āna pononga.

15 He hiriwa, he kōura ngā whakapakoko a ngā tauiwi,

he mahi nā te ringa tāngata.

16 He māngai ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kōrero;

he kanohi ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kite;

17 he taringa ō rātou, ā, kāhore e rongo,

kāhore anō he manawa i ō rātou māngai.

18 Ka rite ki a rātou te hunga nāna rātou i hanga;

āe, me ngā tāngata katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a rātou.

19 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Īharaira!

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Ārona!

20 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Rīwai!

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowā!

21 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā i roto i Hiona,

e noho nei i Hiruhārama.

Whakapaingia a Ihowā!
