Waiata 100

1 He himene whakamoemiti. Kia hari te hamama ki a Ihowa, e nga whenua katoa:

A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Mahi atu ki a Ihowa i runga i te koa, waiata haere ki tona aroaro.

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with exultation.

3 Kia matau ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua: nana tatou i hanga, ehara hoki i a tatou: ko tana iwi tatou, ko ana hipi e hepara ai.

Know that the Lord he is God; he made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Tomokia ona tatau i runga i te whakawhetai, ona marae i runga i te whakamoemiti: whakawhetai atu ki a ia, whakapaingia tona ingoa.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with hymns; give thanks to him, praise his name.

5 He pai hoki a Ihowa, pumau tonu tana mahi tohu: a kei tena whakatupuranga, kei tena whakatupuranga, tona pono.

For the Lord is good, his mercy is for ever; and his truth [endures] to generation and generation.
