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 to the LORD, all the earth.

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

Serve the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with joyful songs.

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 that the LORD is God. It is He who 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 His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to 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 the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.
