< Psalms 98 >
1 A psalm. Sing the Lord a new song, for he has done wonderful things: by his powerful right hand and his strong arm he has won the victory.
He himene. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou; he mahi whakamiharo hoki ana: na tona ringa matau, na tona ringa tapu, i taea ai e ia te whakaora.
2 The Lord has revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.
Kua whakakitea e Ihowa tana whakaoranga, kua whakapuakina e ia tona tika ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi.
3 He has not forgotten to show his trustworthy love and faithfulness to the descendants of Israel. Our God has made his salvation clear to the ends of the earth.
Kua mahara ia ki tana mahi tohu, ki tona pono ki te whare o Iharaira; a kua kite nga pito katoa o te whenua i te whakaoranga a to tatou Atua.
4 Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!
Kia hari te hamama, e te whenua katoa, ki a Ihowa: hamama, kia hari, ae ra, himene atu.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;
Himene ki a Ihowa i runga i te hapa; i runga i te hapa, me te himene ano te reo.
6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.
I runga i te tetere, i te tangi ano o te koronete: kia hari te hamama ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Kingi.
7 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.
Kia haruru te moana me nga mea e hua ana i roto, te ao me ona tangata e noho ana i runga.
8 Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration
Kia papaki nga ringa o nga roma, kia hari tahi nga pukepuke.
9 before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.
Ki te aroaro o Ihowa: e haere mai ana hoki ia ki te whakawa mo te whenua: ka whakawa ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, mo nga iwi hoki i runga i te pono.
