Halelu 125

1 O KA poe hilinai aku ia Iehova, E like no lakou me ka mauna o Ziona, Aole ia e naue, e noho mau loa no.

A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved — to the age it abideth.

2 Ua puni o Ierusalema i na mauna, Pela o Iehova e hoopuni ai i kona poe kanaka, Mai keia wa aku, a i ka manawa pau ole.

Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

3 Aole e waihoia ke kookoo o ka poe hewa, Ma ka puu o ka poe pono; O kau aku ka poe pono i ko lakou lima ma ka hewa.

For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

4 E hana maikai mai oe, e Iehova, i ka poe maikai, A i ka poe hoi i pololei ma ko lakou naau.

Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

5 O ka poe kapae ma ko lakou ala keekee, E alakai pu aku no o Iehova ia lakou me ka poe hana lapuwale; A he malu no maluna o ka Iseraela.

As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
