Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

E MILILANI aku au ia oe me kuu naau a pau, Imua o na'kua e hoolea aku ai au ia oe.

2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

E kulou hoomana au ma kou luakini hoano, A e mililani aku i kou inoa, No kou lokomaikai a me ka oiaio; No ka mea, ua hookaulana oe i kau olelo mamua o kou inoa a pau.

3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

I ka la a'u i kahea aku ai ia oe, Alaila, hoolohe mai no oe ia'u, Ua hooikaika mai oe ia'u, me ka ikaika ma kuu uhane.

4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

E mililani aku na'lii a pau o ka honua ia oe, e Iehova, Ia lakou e lohe ai i na huaolelo a kou waha.

5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

E oli no lakou i na aoao o Iehova, No ka mea, nui no ka nani o Iehova.

6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

Ua kiekie loa o Iehova, ua nana mai nei i ka poe haahaa; Aka, ua ike no oia i ka poe hookiekie ma kahi loihi.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Ina paha e hele wau iloko o ka pilikia, Nau no wau e hoola mai. Maluna o ka huhu o kou poe enemi, e o mai ai oe i kou lima, A me kou lima akau oe e hoopakele mai ai ia'u.

8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

E hoopaa no o Iehova i na mea e pili mai ai ia'u; Ua mau loa no kou lokomaikai, e Iehova, Mai haalele oe i na hana a kou mau lima.
