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. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.

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

The LORD hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He revealed in the sight of 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 hath remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward 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.

Shout unto the LORD, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy, yea, 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 unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp and the voice of melody.

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 sound of the horn shout ye before the King, the LORD.

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 roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

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

Let the floods clap their hands; let the mountains sing for joy together;

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 is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
