E mahi nei tona kotahi i nga merekara nunui: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

5 To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

I tohunga rawa nei ki te hanga i nga rangi: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

I whakatakoto nei i te whenua ki runga ki nga wai: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

7 To him that made great lights, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

Ki te kaihanga i nga whakamarama nunui: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

8 The sun for rule over the day, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

I te ra hei tohutohu i te awatea: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

9 The moon and stars for rule over the night, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

I te marama me nga whetu hei tohutohu i te po: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

Ki te kaipatu i Ihipa, ara i a ratou matamua: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

11 And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

A arahina mai ana a Iharaira i waenganui i a ratou: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

12 With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

Na te ringa kaha me te takakau maro: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

13 To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

I tapahi nei i te Moana Whero a motu rawa: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

A meinga ana a Iharaira kia haere ra waenganui: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu;

15 And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

A hurihia ana a Parao me ana mano ki te Moana Whero: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

16 To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

I arahi nei i tana iwi ra te koraha: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

17 To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

22 An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

Hei kainga pumau mo Iharaira, mo tana pononga: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

23 Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

I mahara nei ki a tatou i to tatou itinga; he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu:

24 And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

A whakaorangia ana tatou i o tatou hoariri: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

25 Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Ko ia te kaihomai i te kai ma nga kikokiko katoa: he mau tonu hoki tana inahi tohu.

Whakawhetai ki te Atua o te rangi: he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.
