Waiata 95

1 Tena, kia waiata tatou ki a Ihowa: kia hari te hamama ki te kamaka o to tatou whakaoranga.

Come, we sing to YHWH, We shout to the rock of our salvation.

2 Kia haere tatou me te whakawhetai atu ki tona aroaro: kia ngahau hoki a tatou himene ki a ia.

We come before His face with thanksgiving, We shout to Him with psalms.

3 No te mea he Atua nui hoki a Ihowa, he Kingi nui i nga atua katoa.

For YHWH [is] a great God, And a great King over all gods.

4 Kei tona ringa nga wahi hohonu o te whenua: a nana nga maunga teitei.

9 I ahau i whakamatautauria e o koutou matua, i ata mohiotia, i to ratou kitenga ano hoki i aku mahi.

Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, indeed, have seen My work.

10 E wha tekau nga tau i hoha ai ahau ki tenei whakatupuranga, na ka mea ahau; He iwi ngakau kotiti ke ratou, kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki aku ara.

Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, “A people erring in heart—they! And they have not known My ways”:

11 Na reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki; e kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga.

Where I swore in My anger, “If they come into My rest—!”
