Waiata 96
1 Waiatatia he waiata hou ki a Ihowa: waiata, e te whenua katoa, ki a Ihowa.
O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2 Waiata ki a Ihowa, whakapaingia tona ingoa: whakakitea tana whakaoranga i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3 Whakapuakina tona kororia i waenganui i nga tauiwi, ana mahi whakamiharo i waenganui i nga iwi katoa.
Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4 He nui hoki a Ihowa, he tika ano kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia: kia wehingia nuitia ai i nga atua katoa.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
5 He whakapakoko hoki nga atua katoa o nga iwi: na Ihowa ia i hanga nga rangi.
For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6 He honore, he kororia kei tona aroaro: kei tona wahi tapu te kaha me te ataahua.
Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7 Waiho atu i a Ihowa, e nga hapu katoa o nga iwi: waiho atu i a Ihowa te kororia me te kaha.
Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Waiho atu i a Ihowa te kororia e tika ana mo tona ingoa: maua mai he whakahere, haere mai hoki ki ona marae.
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9 Koropiko ki a Ihowa i roto i te ataahua o te tapu: kia wehi ra ki tona aroaro, e te whenua katoa.
O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10 Mea atu i waenganui o nga tauiwi, E kingi ana a Ihowa: ka u te whenua, te taea te whakangaueue; ka tika ana whakawa mo nga iwi.
Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
11 Kia hari nga rangi, kia koa te whenua, kia haruru te moana, me nga mea e hua ana i roto.
Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12 Kia hari te mara, me nga mea katoa i runga: ko reira ano koa ai nga rakau katoa o te ngahere;
Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13 Ki te aroaro o Ihowa, e haere mai ana hoki ia; e haere mai ana ia ki te whakawa mo te whenua: ka whakawa ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, mo nga iwi hoki i runga i tona pono.
Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
