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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made 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 suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

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

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee 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 preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

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 preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
