Waiata 100

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

A Psalm of Praise. Make a glad sound to the Lord, all the earth.

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

Give worship to the Lord with joy; come before him with a song.

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.

Be certain that the Lord is God; it is he who has made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep to whom he gives food.

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

Come into his doors with joy, and into his house with praise; give him honour, blessing 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 mercy is never-ending; his faith is unchanging through all generations.
