Waiata 65
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. E taria ana koe, e te Atua, e te whakamoemiti i Hiona: a ka whakamana te kupu taurangi ki a koe.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.
2 E te kaiwhakarongo inoi, e haere nga kikokiko katoa ki a koe.
O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.
3 E kaha ake ana i ahau nga kino: a matou mahi tutu, mau ena e hipoki.
When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.
4 Ka hari te tangata e whiriwhiria e koe, e meatia e koe kia tata atu ki a koe, kia noho i roto i ou marae: ka makona matou i te pai o tou whare, o tou temepara tapu.
Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.
5 He mea whakawehi, he tapu, tau utu kupu ki a matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, e te okiokinga o nga pito katoa o te whenua, o te hunga hoki i tawhiti i runga o te moana;
With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
6 E whakau nei i nga maunga, he kaha hoki nona; tona whitiki nei he kaha.
You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
7 E whakamarie nei i te haruru o nga moana, i te haruru o o ratou ngaru, i te ngangau hoki o nga iwi.
You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
8 Ka wehi ano ki au tohu te hunga e noho ana i nga pito rawa: hari ana i a koe nga putake o te ata, o te ahiahi.
Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
9 E tirotirohia ana e koe te whenua, e whakamakukuria ana, e whakamomonatia nuitia ana e koe; ki tonu te awa o te Atua i te wai: oti rawa ake te whakapai e koe, kua rite mai i a koe he witi mo aua wahi.
You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.
10 Makuku rawa i a koe ona moa, pe ana i a koe ona tupuke: e whakangawaritia ana e koe ki nga ua: e manaakitia ana e koe tona pihinga ake.
You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.
11 E karaunatia ana e koe te tau ki tou pai; e maturuturu ana hoki te momonatanga o ou ara.
You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.
12 E maturuturu ana ki nga wahi kai o te koraha: a whitikiria ana nga pukepuke ki te koa.
The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.
13 He hipi te kakahu o nga wahi kai; ngaro ana nga raorao i te witi; hamama ana ratou i te hari, waiata ana.
The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
