Waiata 100

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

“A psalm of praise.” Raise a voice of joy unto the LORD, all ye 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 rejoicing!

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 is God! It is he that made us, and we are his, His people, and the flock 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 his courts with praise; Be thankful 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 mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth to all generations.
