Psalms 113

1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!

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

2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.

Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.

3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!

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

4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.

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

5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.

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

6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.

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

7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.

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 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.

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

9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!

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