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?

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy 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 lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up 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;

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into 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 mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

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

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

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

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
