Halelu 13

1 PEHEA la ka loihi o kou hoopoina ana mai ia'u, e Iehova? I ka manawa pau ole anei? Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoonalo ana i kou maka ia'u?

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ko'u kaukau ana iloko o ko'u uhane, Me ke kaniuhu iloko o ko'u naau i kela la a i keia la? Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ka hookiekie ana o ko'u enemi maluna o'u?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 E manao mai, e Iehova, e ko'u Akua, e hoolohe mai ia'u, E hoomalamalama i ko'u mau maka, o hiamoe au i ka make;

Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 O olelo mai paha kuu enemi, Ua lanakila au maluna ona; A hauoli no hoi ka poe i hana ino mai ia'u, ke haalulu au.

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 Aka hoi, ua hilinai aku au i kou aloha; E hauoli no hoi ko'u naau i kou ola.

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 E oli aku no au ia Iehova, No kona lokomaikai ana mai nei ia'u.

I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
