Waiata 105
1 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, karanga atu ki tona ingoa: whakapuakina ana mahi ki waenganui o nga iwi.
O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
2 Waiata ki a ia, himene ki a ia: korerotia ana mahi whakamiharo katoa.
Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
3 Whakamanamana ki tona ingoa tapu: kia hari te ngakau o te hunga e rapu ana i a Ihowa.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Rapua a Ihowa me tona kaha: rapua tonutia tona mata, ake ake.
Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
5 Maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo i mahia e ia; ana merekara me nga whakaritenga a tona mangai,
Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
6 E nga uri o Aperahama, o tana pononga, e nga tama a Hakopa, e ana i whiriwhiri ai.
Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
7 Ko Ihowa ia, ko to tatou Atua; kei te whenua katoa ana whakaritenga.

8 Mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata ake ake, ki te kupu i kiia iho e ia ki te mano o nga whakatupuranga.
He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
9 Ki tana i whakarite ai ki a Aperahama, ki tana oati hoki ki a Ihaka;
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
10 A whakapumautia iho e ia hei tikanga ki a Hakopa, hei kawenata mau tonu ki a Iharaira.
