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 the degrees by David.” O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lofty: neither have I walked after matters too great, or those 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.

Surely I have pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me my soul.

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

Let Israel wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.
