Halelu 101

1 E OLI no wau i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono; Ia oe no wau, e Iehova, e hoolea aku ai.

“By David, a psalm.” Of kindness and justice will I sing: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing praises.

2 E hana naauno no wau ma ka aoao o ka pono. Ahea la oe e hele mai ai ia'u? E holoholo no wau maloko o ko'u hale, Me ka pono o ko'u naau.

I will carefully regard the way of the perfect: oh when will thou come unto me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

3 Aole au e kau i ka hewa imua o ko'u mau maka; Ua inaina aku au i ka mea hana ino, Aole ia e pili mai ia'u.

I will not set before my eyes a godless thing; to commit a departure [from righteousness] do I hate; it shall not cleave to me.

4 E haalele anauei ka naau kekee ia'u, Aole au e ike aku i ke kanaka hewa.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: evil will I not know.

5 O ka mea ahiahi malu i kona hoalauna, Oia ka'u e hooki aku; O ka mea maka hookiekie, a naau hookano hoi, Aole au e hoomanawanui ia ia.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbor, him will I destroy: whoso hath proud eyes and a haughty heart, him will I not suffer.

6 Aia uo ko'u mau maka ma ka poe oiaio o ka aina, I noho mai ai lakou me au. O ka mea hele ma ka aoao o ka pono, Nana no e hookauwa mai na'u.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me: he that walketh in the way of the perfect, he it is that shall serve me.

7 Aole e noho iloko o ko'u hale ka mea hana hoopunipuni; Aole e noho ma ko'u alo, ka mea olelo wahahee.

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehoods shall not succeed before my eyes.

8 E hooki koke no wau i ka poe hewa a pau o ka aina, I hoopau wau i ka poe hana hewa a pau, Mai ke kulanakauhale o Iehova aku.

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of the Lord all the wrong-doers.
