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 the Chief Musician. With stringed Instruments. A Melody, a Song. God, be favorable to us and bless us, Cause his face to shine upon us. (Selah)

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

That thy way may be known throughout the earth, Throughout all nations, thy saving help!

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

Peoples will praise thee, O God, Peoples will, all of them, praise 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)

Races of men, will be glad and shout for joy, Because thou wilt judge peoples with equity, And, races of men throughout the earth, thou wilt lead. (Selah)

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

Peoples will praise thee, O God, —Peoples will, all of them, praise thee.

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

Earth, will have given her increase, God, our own God, will bless us:

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

God, will bless us, That all the ends of the earth, may revere him.
