< Psalms 146 >
1 Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. E toku wairua, whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,
I ahau e ora nei ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki toku Atua i ahau i te ao nei.
3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
Kei whakawhirinaki ki nga rangatira, ki te tama ranei a te tangata, kahore nei he awhina.
4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.
Ko te putanga atu o tona wairua, hoki ana ia ki tona oneone; kore iho ona whakaaro i taua ra pu ano.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,
Ka hari te tangata ko te Atua nei o Hakopa tona kaiawhina: ko tana e tumanako ai ko Ihowa, ko tona Atua;
6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.
Ko te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o nga mea katoa o reira; e pupuri nei i te pono ake ake;
7 He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.
E tohe nei i te whakawa a te hunga e tukinotia ana: e whangai nei i te hunga mate hiakai: ko Ihowa hei wewete i nga herehere:
8 The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.
Ko Ihowa hei whakatitiro i nga matapo: ko Ihowa hei whakaara i te hunga kua whakapikoa iho: e aroha ana a Ihowa ki te hunga tika.
9 The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.
Ko Ihowa hei tiaki i nga manene; ko ia hei tautoko i te pani, i te pouaru: ko te ara ia o te hunga kino, ka huripokitia e ia.
10 The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Ko Ihowa hei kingi ake ake, ae, ko tou Atua, e Hiona, tae noa ki nga whakatupuranga katoa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
