Halelu 113

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

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

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

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 his setting, the name of the Lord 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.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

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

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

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 on 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;

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

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

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes 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.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
