Halelu 131

1 E IEHOVA, aole i hookiekie ko'u naau, Aole hookano ko'u mau maka; Aole au i hele mamuli o ua mea nunui, A me na mea hakalia ia'u.

A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

2 A i ole ia, ua hoona wau ia'u iho, a ua hoomalielie au i ko'u uhane, E like me ke keiki i ukuhiia e kona makuwahine; Ua like no ko'u uhane me ke keiki i ukuhiia.

[I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

3 E hoolana o ka Iseraela ma Iehova, Mai keia wa aku. a i ke ao pau ole.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
