Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia, e nga pononga a Ihowa, whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

Kia whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa i te putanga mai o te ra, a tae noa ki tona torengitanga.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

Kei runga rawa a Ihowa i nga iwi katoa: kei runga ake i nga rangi tona kororia.

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

Ko wai te rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, kei runga nei tona nohoanga,

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

E whakaiti nei i a ia ki te titiro iho ki nga mea kei te rangi, kei te whenua?

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

E whakaara ake ana ia i te iti i roto i te puehu, e whakateitei ake ana i te rawakore i roto i te puranga paru;

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

Kia whakanohoia ai e ia ki roto ki nga rangatira, ki nga rangatira o tana iwi.

9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.

Nana hoki te pakoko i whai whare ai, hei whaereere e koa ana ki ana tamariki. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
