Waiata 24

1 He himene na Rawiri. No Ihowa te whenua, me ona tini mea, te ao, me nga tangata e noho ana i runga.

[A Psalm by David.] The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

2 He mea whakatu hoki nana ki runga ki nga moana, he mea whakau ki runga ki nga roma.

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

3 Ko wai e eke ki te maunga o Ihowa? Ko wai e tu ki tona wahi tapu?

Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Ko te tangata he ma nei nga ringa, he harakore tona ngakau, kahore nei i ara tona wairua ki te horihori, a kahore i oati teka.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 Ka riro i a ia te manaaki a Ihowa, me te tika a te Atua o tona whakaoranga.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Ko te whakatupuranga tenei o te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia, e rapu nei i tou mate, e Hakopa. (Hera)

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, ara ake, e nga tatau onamata; a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

8 Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa, ko te kaha, ko te marohirohi, ko Ihowa, ko te marohirohi ki te whawhai.

Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

9 Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, kia ara ake, e nga tatau onamata, a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

10 Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia te Kingi kororia. (Hera)

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts is the King of glory. (Selah)
