1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

He pai hoki te hīmene ki tō tātou Atua;

āhuareka rawa, ātaahua tonu te whakamoemiti.

2 Ko Ihowā hei hanga i Hiruhārama;

māna hoki ngā whati o Īharaira e kohikohi.

3 Ko ia hei rongoā i te hunga ngākau marū;

māna e takai ō rātou wāhi mamae.

4 E taua ana e ia ngā whetū, te maha;

e huaina ana hoki e ia ō rātou ingoa katoa.

5 He nui tō tātou Ariki, he nui hoki tōna kaha;

e kore e taea tōna mātauranga te whakaaro.

6 Ko Ihowā te kaitautoko mō te hunga māhaki;

ka turakina e ia te hunga kino ki te whenua.

7 Waiata, whakawhetai ki a Ihowā;

hīmene i runga i te hāpa ki tō tātou Atua.

8 Ko ia nei te kaiuwhi i te rangi ki ngā kapua,

te kaihanga i te ua mō te whenua;

e whakatupu ana ia i te tarutaru ki runga ki ngā maunga.

9 E hōmai ana e ia he kai mā te kīrehe;

mā ngā pī raweni hoki ina tangi.

10 E kore ia e āhuareka ki te kaha o te hōiho;

e kore ia e manako ki ngā waewae o te tangata.

11 E manako ana a Ihowā ki te hunga e wehi ana i a ia,

ki te hunga e tūmanako ana ki tōna aroha.

12 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā, e Hiruhārama!

Whakamoemititia tōu Atua, e Hiona!

13 Nāna nei hoki i whakakaha ngā tūtaki o ōu tatau;

manaakitia ana e ia āu tamariki i roto i a koe.

14 Nāna anō i mau ai te rongo i roto i ōu rohe;

nāna koe i mākona ai i te wīti pai rawa.

15 E tukua ana e ia tāna kupu ki te whenua;

tere rawa te rere o tāna kupu.

16 E hōmai ana e ia te hukarere ānō he huruhuru hipi;

e whakatītaritaria ana te haupapa ānō he pungarehu.

17 Makā mai ana e ia tāna hauhunga ānō he maramara –

ko wai e tū i mua i tāna mātao?

18 E tukua ana e ia tāna kupu, ā, whakarewaina ana aua mea;

ka meinga tāna hau kia pupuhi, rere ana ngā wai.

19 E whakakitea ana e ia tāna kupu ki a Hākopa;

āna tikanga, me āna whakaritenga ki a Īharaira.

20 Kāhore i pērā tāna hanga ki tētahi iwi;

kīhai anō āna whakaritenga i mōhiotia e rātou.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
