Psalms 61

1 To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u kahea ana; E maliu pono mai i ka'u pule.

2 From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

Mai ka welau o ka honua e kahea aku ai au ia oe, I ka paumako o ko'u naau; E alakai oe ia'u i ka pohaku kiekie maluna o'u.

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

No ka mea, ua lilo mai oe i paku no'u; He halekaua paa imua o ka enemi.

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

E noho wau maloko o kou halelewa a mau loa: E kanaho au ma ka hoomalu ana o kou mau eheu. (Sila)

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

No ka mea, ua lohe oe, e ke Akua, i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki ai: Ua haawi mai hoi oe ia'u i ka hooilina o ka poe weliweli i kou inoa.

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

E hooloihi no oe i na la o ke alii: A i kona mau makahiki ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

E noho ia imua o ke Akua a mau loa; E hoomakaukau mai oe i ke aloha a me ka oiaio, e ola'i ia.

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.

Pela, e himeni mau loa aku au i kou inoa, E hooko aku i kela la i keia la i ka'u mau mea i berita ai.
