1 E HALELU aku ia Iehova: E halelu, e na kauwa a Iehova, E halelu aku oukou i ka inoa o Iehova.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

2 E hoomaikaiia ka inoa o Iehova, Mai keia wa aku a i ka manawa pau ole.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.

3 Mai ka puka ana a ka la, a hiki i kona komo ana, E haleluia ka inoa o Iehova.

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

4 Ua kiekie o Iehova, maluna o ko na aina a pau, A me kona hanohano hoi maluna o ka lani.

Jehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Owai la ka i like me Iehova, ko kakou Akua? Ka mea hookiekie i kona wahi nobo ai;

Who is like Jehovah our God who has his seat on high,

6 Ka mea hoohaahaa, e ike i ka lani, A i ka honua no hoi:

and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth.

7 Ka mea i hapai i ka mea ilihune, mai ka lepo mai, A hookiekie hoi i ka mea pilikia, mai ke kiona aku;

He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

8 I hoonoho ai oia ia ia me na'lii, Me na'lii hoi o kona poe kanaka.

that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

9 A hoonoho hoi oia i ka wahine pa ma ka hale, I makuwahine, e lealea ana i na keiki ana. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.

He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye Jehovah.
