148  Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.

Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.

Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.

Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.

Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.

Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;

E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;

E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;

10 E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:

11 E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:

12 E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:

13 Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.

14 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord from the heavens;(B)
    praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels;(C)
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.(D)
Praise him, sun(E) and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens(F)
    and you waters above the skies.(G)

Let them praise the name(H) of the Lord,
    for at his command(I) they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree(J) that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord(K) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures(L) and all ocean depths,(M)
lightning and hail,(N) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,(O)
you mountains and all hills,(P)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals(Q) and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings(R) of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,(S)
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor(T) is above the earth and the heavens.(U)
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[b](V)
    the praise(W) of all his faithful servants,(X)
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.(Y)

Praise the Lord.
