< Waiata 111 >
1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.
E HALELU aku ia Iehova: E mililani aku au ia Iehova me kuu naau a pau, Ma ke anaina o ka poe pono, a me ka ahakanaka no hoi.
2 He nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.
He mana no na hana a Iehova, A ua imiia hoi e ka poe a pau i makemake aku ia mau mea.
3 He mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.
He nani, a he hanohano hoi kana hana; E mau loa ana no kona pono.
4 Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.
Ua hana oia i mea e hoomanaoia'i kana mau hana mana: He aloha, a he lokomaikai o Iehova.
5 E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.
Ua haawi mai oia i ka ai na ka poe makau aku ia ia: E hoomanao mau loa no oia i kona berita.
6 Kua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.
Ua hoike mai oia i kona poe kanaka i ka mana o kana mau hana, I ka haawi ana mai ia lakou e noho ma na hooilina o ko na aina e.
7 Ko nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,
O na hana a kona mau lima, he oiaio, a he hoopono, He oiaio no kana mau kauoha a pau.
8 U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.
Onipaa loa lakou, a i ka manawa pau ole, Ua hanaia ma ka oiaio, a ma ka pololei.
9 I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.
Hoouna mai oia i ka hoolapanai no kona poe kanaka: Ua kauoha mai oia, e mau loa kona berita: He hoano, a he mea weliweli hoi kona inoa.
10 Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.
O ka makau aku ia Iehova, oia ke kumu o ke akamai; He naauao maikai ka poe a pau o hana malaila; E mau loa ana no kona hoonaniia.
