Psalms 97
1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
Ko Ihowa te Kingi, kia hari te whenua, kia koa nga tini moutere.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
Ko te kapua me te pouri kei ona taha katoa: ko te tika, ko te whakawa, te turanga o tona torona.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
He kapura e haere ana i mua i a ia, a pau ake ona hoariri a taka noa.
4 His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
Marama tonu te ao i ana uira: i kite te whenua, a wiri ana.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth;
Rewa noa nga maunga, ano he ware pi, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
E whakapuakina ana e nga rangi tona tika: a e kitea ana e nga iwi katoa tona kororia.
7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
Kia whakama katoa te hunga e mahi ana ki nga whakapakoko, e whakamanamana ana ki nga atua horihori: koropiko ki a ia, e nga atua katoa.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of thy judgments, O LORD.
I rongo a Hiona, a koa ana: whakamanamana ana nga tamahine o Hura, e Ihowa, ki au whakaritenga.
9 For thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, kei runga noa ake i te whenua katoa: kua whakanuia koe ki runga noa ake i nga atua katoa.
10 O ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
E te hunga e aroha ana ki a Ihowa, e kino ki te he: e tiakina ana e ia nga wairua o tana hunga tapu; e whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i nga ringa o te hunga kino.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Kua oti te marama te whakato mo te hunga tika: me te koa mo te hunga ngakau tapatahi.
12 Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name.
Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: whakamoemiti ki tona ingoa tapu.
