Waiata 100

1 He himene whakamoemiti. Kia hari te hamama ki a Ihowa, e nga whenua katoa:

A Psalm of thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands.

2 Mahi atu ki a Ihowa i runga i te koa, waiata haere ki tona aroaro.

Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence with singing.

3 Kia matau ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua: nana tatou i hanga, ehara hoki i a tatou: ko tana iwi tatou, ko ana hipi e hepara ai.

Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Tomokia ona tatau i runga i te whakawhetai, ona marae i runga i te whakamoemiti: whakawhetai atu ki a ia, whakapaingia tona ingoa.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.

5 He pai hoki a Ihowa, pumau tonu tana mahi tohu: a kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga, tona pono.

For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever, And his faithfulness unto all generations.
