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 degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.

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.

Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

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.

Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.

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

Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
