Waiata 29

1 He himene na Rawiri. Hoatu ki a Ihowa, e nga tama a te hunga nunui, hoatu ki a Ihowa te kororia me te kaha.

“A psalm of David.” Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

2 Hoatu ki a Ihowa te kororia e rite ana mo tona ingoa, koropiko ki a Ihowa i roto i te ataahua o te tapu.

Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!

3 Kei runga te reo o Ihowa i nga wai: e papa ana te whatitiri a te Atua o te kororia: kei runga a Ihowa i nga wai maha.

The voice of Jehovah is heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth, -Jehovah above the great waters.

4 Kaha tonu te reo o Ihowa; kororia tonu te reo o Ihowa.

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty;

5 Mongamonga noa nga hita i te reo o Ihowa; ina, mongamonga noa i a Ihowa nga hita o Repanona.

The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon;

6 Ko ia hei mea i a ratou kia mokowhiti, ano he kuao: a Repanona raua ko Hiriona, ano he kuao kau maka.

Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf, —Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

7 E wehewehe ana te reo o Ihowa i nga mura ahi.

The voice of Jehovah divideth the flames of fire.

8 Wiri ana te koraha i te reo o Ihowa: wiri ana i a Ihowa te koraha o Karehe.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.

9 Whanau ana nga hata i te reo o Ihowa, tihorea ana nga ngahere kia tahanga: i tona temepara ko te kupu a te katoa, Kororia.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.

10 I noho a Ihowa hei kingi i runga i te Waipuke; ae, ka noho a Ihowa hei kingi, ake ake.

Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth king for ever.

11 Ka homai e Ihowa he kaha ki tana hunga; he rongo mau ta Ihowa manaaki mo tana hunga.

Jehovah will give strength to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
