Psalms 97
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
Ko Ihowa te Kingi, kia hari te whenua, kia koa nga tini moutere.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
Ko te kapua me te pouri kei ona taha katoa: ko te tika, ko te whakawa, te turanga o tona torona.
3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
He kapura e haere ana i mua i a ia, a pau ake ona hoariri a taka noa.
4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
Marama tonu te ao i ana uira: i kite te whenua, a wiri ana.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
Rewa noa nga maunga, ano he ware pi, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
E whakapuakina ana e nga rangi tona tika: a e kitea ana e nga iwi katoa tona kororia.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
Kia whakama katoa te hunga e mahi ana ki nga whakapakoko, e whakamanamana ana ki nga atua horihori: koropiko ki a ia, e nga atua katoa.
8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
I rongo a Hiona, a koa ana: whakamanamana ana nga tamahine o Hura, e Ihowa, ki au whakaritenga.
9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, kei runga noa ake i te whenua katoa: kua whakanuia koe ki runga noa ake i nga atua katoa.
10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
E te hunga e aroha ana ki a Ihowa, e kino ki te he: e tiakina ana e ia nga wairua o tana hunga tapu; e whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i nga ringa o te hunga kino.
11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
Kua oti te marama te whakato mo te hunga tika: me te koa mo te hunga ngakau tapatahi.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: whakamoemiti ki tona ingoa tapu.
