Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

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

2 Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

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

3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

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

4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

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

5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age 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 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of 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] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

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

8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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

9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [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 beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing 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.
