Waiata 100

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

A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all ye lands.

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 singing.

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 ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath 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] into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, [and] bless 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] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations.
