Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

He nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

He mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.

4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.

5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.

6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Kua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

Ko nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,

8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.
