Waiata 100

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

A Melody for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth:

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

Serve Yahweh with rejoicing, Enter before him, with shouts of triumph.

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, Yahweh, he, is God, —He, made us, and not, we ourselves, 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 ye his gates, with thanksgiving, his courts, with praise, Give ye thanks to him, bless ye his Name;

5 He pai hoki a Ihowa, pumau tonu tana mahi tohu: a kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga, tona pono.

For good is Yahweh, Age-abiding is his lovingkindness, And, unto generation after generation, his faithfulness.
