Halelu 121

1 E LEHA aku au i ko'u mau maka i na mauna, Mailaila mai ko'u kokua e hiki mai ai.

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 Mai Iehova mai ko'u kokua, Nana no i hana i ka lani, a me ka honua.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 Aole ia e haawi i kou wawae i ke kulanalana; O ka mea malama ia oe, aole ia e maluhiluhi.

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Aia hoi, o ka mea malama i ka Iseraela, Aole ia e maluhiluhi, aole ia e hiamoe.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 O Iehova no kou kiai; O Iehova no kou malu, ma kou lima akau.

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

6 Aole e hahau mai ka la ia oe i ke ao, Aole hoi o ka mahina i ka po.

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 E malama mai no o Iehova ia oe i ka ino a pau; Nana no e malama i kou uhane.

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

8 E kiai no o Iehova i kou puka ana iwaho a me kou komo ana iloko, Mai keia wa a ka manawa pau ole.

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
