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 Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond 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.

When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in 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 this time forward and even forever.
