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 Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And 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.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
