Waiata 100

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

[A Psalm of thanksgiving.] Shout for joy to the LORD, all you lands.

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

Serve the LORD 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 that the LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we belong to him. 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 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. His loving kindness endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
