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 Jehovah, all you 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 that Jehovah, 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 Jehovah is good. His loving kindness endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
