Waiata 67

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nekinoto. He himene, he waiata. Ma te Atua tatou e atawhai, mana tatou e manaaki; mana e mea kia tiaho tona mata ki a tatou; (Hera)

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song. God be mercifull vnto vs, and blesse vs, and cause his face to shine among vs. (Selah)

2 Kia matauria ai tau ara ki runga ki te whenua, tau whakaoranga i roto i nga tauiwi katoa.

That they may know thy way vpon earth, and thy sauing health among all nations.

3 Kia whakamoemiti nga iwi ki a koe, e te Atua, kia whakamoemiti nga iwi katoa ki a koe.

Let the people prayse thee, O God: let all the people prayse thee.

4 Kia koa nga tauiwi, kia waiata i te hari: no te mea ka tika tau whakawa mo nga iwi, a ka kawana koe i nga tauiwi o te whenua. (Hera)

Let the people be glad and reioyce: for thou shalt iudge the people righteously, and gouerne the nations vpon the earth. (Selah)

5 Kia whakamoemiti nga iwi ki a koe, e te Atua, kia whakamoemiti nga iwi katoa ki a koe.

Let the people prayse thee, O God: let all the people prayse thee.

6 Kua tuku mai nei te whenua i ona hua; a ka manaaki te Atua, to tatou Atua, i a tatou.

Then shall the earth bring foorth her increase, and God, euen our God shall blesse vs.

7 Ka manaaki te Atua i a tatou; a ka wehi nga pito katoa o te whenua i a ia.

God shall blesse vs, and all the endes of the earth shall feare him.
