Halelu 123

1 I A oe no wau e leha aku nei i ko'u mau maka, E ka mea e noho la ma ka lani.

A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

2 Aia hoi, e like me na maka o na kauwakane, I ka lima o ko lakou haku, E like hoi me na maka o ke kauwawahine, I ka lima o kona haku wahine; Pela no ko kakou maka ia Iehova i ko kakou Akua, A aloha mai oia ia makou.

See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

3 E aloha mai oe ia makou, o Iehova, E aloha mai oe ia makou; No ka mea, ua ana loa makou i ka hoowahawahaia.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

4 Ua ana loa ko makou uhane i ka hoomaewaewa ana o ka poe hookano, A me ka hoowahawaha ana o ka poe hookiekie.

For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
