Waiata 148
1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.
Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!
3 Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.
Praise ye him, sun and moon! Praise him, all ye stars of light!
4 Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! Ye waters, that are above the heavens!
5 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.
Let them praise the name of the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.
6 Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.
He hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.
7 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!
8 E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;
Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:
Young men and maidens, Old men and children!
13 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.
Let them praise the name of the LORD! For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
