Waiata 98

1 He himene. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou; he mahi whakamiharo hoki ana: na tona ringa matau, na tona ringa tapu, i taea ai e ia te whakaora.

A Psalm. Sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done wonders; His right hand and holy arm have gained Him the victory.

2 Kua whakakitea e Ihowa tana whakaoranga, kua whakapuakina e ia tona tika ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi.

The LORD has proclaimed His salvation and revealed His righteousness to the nations.

3 Kua mahara ia ki tana mahi tohu, ki tona pono ki te whare o Iharaira; a kua kite nga pito katoa o te whenua i te whakaoranga a to tatou Atua.

He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Kia hari te hamama, e te whenua katoa, ki a Ihowa: hamama, kia hari, ae ra, himene atu.

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth—let your cry ring out, and sing praises!

5 Himene ki a Ihowa i runga i te hapa; i runga i te hapa, me te himene ano te reo.

Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.

6 I runga i te tetere, i te tangi ano o te koronete: kia hari te hamama ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Kingi.

With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout for joy before the LORD, the King.

7 Kia haruru te moana me nga mea e hua ana i roto, te ao me ona tangata e noho ana i runga.

Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

8 Kia papaki nga ringa o nga roma, kia hari tahi nga pukepuke.

Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy

9 Ki te aroaro o Ihowa: e haere mai ana hoki 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 te pono.

before the LORD, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.
