Waiata.
104.
Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua. E Ihowā, e tōku Atua, he nui rawa koe. He hōnore, he korōria ōu kākahu, 
e roropi nei i te mārama ki a koe ānō he kākahu. E hora nei i ngā rangi ānō he kākahu tauārai, 
e whakanoho nei i ngā kurupae o ōna rūma ki ngā wai, e mea nei i ngā kapua hei hāriata mōna, e haere nei i runga i ngā pākau o te hau. 
E mea nei i ngā hau hei karere māna, i te mura ahi hei kaimahi māna. 
Nāna nei i whakatū te whenua ki runga ki ōna tūranga, kei nekenekehia ake ake. 
Nāu anō i hīpoki ki te rire hei kākahu; tū ana ngā wai i runga i ngā maunga. 
Rere ana rātou i tāu riri; tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tāu whatitiri. 
Puke ake ana rā ngā maunga, heke iho ana mā ngā whāwhārua ki te wāhi i whakaritea e koe mō rātou. 
Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai rātou, kei hoki mai hei taupoki mō te whenua. 
Nāna i tono ngā puna ki roto ki ngā awaawa, e rere nei i waenga o ngā puke. 
Hei wai mō ngā kīrehe katoa o te pārae; nā noa te matewai o ngā kāihe mohoao. 
Kei reira ngā nohoanga o ngā manu o te rangi, e korihi nei i roto i ngā manga. 
He mea whakamākūkū nāna ngā puke i ōna rūma; ka mākona te whenua i ngā hua o āu mahi. 
Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru mā te kararehe, i te otaota hei mea mā te tangata, kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua, 
he wāina hei whakahari i te ngākau o te tangata, he hinu e pīata ai tōna mata, me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngākau o te tangata. 
Kī tonu i te wai ngā rākau a Ihowā, ngā hīta o Repanōna i whakatōkia e ia. 
Hangā ake e ngā manu he ōhanga ki reira; te tāka, ko ngā kauri tōna whare. 
Hei piringa ngā puke tiketike mō ngā koati mohoao; ngā kōhatu mō ngā rāpeti. 
I hangā e ia te marama hei tohu tāima; e mātau ana te rā ki tōna torengitanga. 
Ko koe hei whakapōuri, ā, kua pō; nā ngōki mai ana ngā kīrehe katoa o te ngahere. 
Ko ngā kūao raiona ngengere ana rātou, he mea kai, he rapu kai mā rātou i te Atua. 
Ko te putanga mai o te rā ka poto atu rātou, takoto ana i ō rātou kuhunga. 
Ko te tangata ka haere ki āna hanga, ki tāna mahi, ā ahiahi noa. 
Anō te tini o āu mahi, e Ihowā! He mōhio rawa tāu mahi i aua mea katoa; kī tonu te whenua i āu taonga. 
Kei kō rā ko te moana, tōna nui tuauriuri; kei reira ngā mea ngōkingōki e kore e taea te tatau, ngā kīrehe hoki, āna nonohi, āna nunui. 
Kei reira ngā kaipuke e teretere ana; kei reira taua rewiatana i hangā e koe hei tākaro ki reira. 
E tatari katoa ana ēnei ki a koe, kia hoatu e koe te kai mā rātou i te wā e tika ai; 
ko tāu e hoatu ai mā rātou, kohikohia ana e rātou; te wherahanga o tōu ringa, mākona tonu rātou i te pai. 
Ko te hunanga o tōu mata, pororaru ana rātou; ka kapohia e koe tō rātou manawa, ka marere rātou, ā, ka hoki anō ki tō rātou puehu. 
Ko tāu tononga mai i tōu wairua, kua hangā rātou; ā, whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua. 
Kia whai korōria a Ihowā ake ake, kia hari a Ihowā ki āna mahi – 
tāna tirohanga iho ki te whenua, rū ana; kua pā ki ngā puke, nā, pongere ana. 
Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowā i ahau e ora ana; ka hīmene ki tōku Atua i ahau anō i te ao nei. 
Kia reka tōku whakaaronga ki a ia, ka hari ahau ki a Ihowā. 
Kia mōtī ngā tāngata hara i runga i te whenua, ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu. Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua! Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
