Halelu 138

1 E MILILANI aku au ia oe me kuu naau a pau, Imua o na'kua e hoolea aku ai au ia oe.

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 E kulou hoomana au ma kou luakini hoano, A e mililani aku i kou inoa, No kou lokomaikai a me ka oiaio; No ka mea, ua hookaulana oe i kau olelo mamua o kou inoa a pau.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 I ka la a'u i kahea aku ai ia oe, Alaila, hoolohe mai no oe ia'u, Ua hooikaika mai oe ia'u, me ka ikaika ma kuu uhane.

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 E mililani aku na'lii a pau o ka honua ia oe, e Iehova, Ia lakou e lohe ai i na huaolelo a kou waha.

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 E oli no lakou i na aoao o Iehova, No ka mea, nui no ka nani o Iehova.

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Ua kiekie loa o Iehova, ua nana mai nei i ka poe haahaa; Aka, ua ike no oia i ka poe hookiekie ma kahi loihi.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Ina paha e hele wau iloko o ka pilikia, Nau no wau e hoola mai. Maluna o ka huhu o kou poe enemi, e o mai ai oe i kou lima, A me kou lima akau oe e hoopakele mai ai ia'u.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 E hoopaa no o Iehova i na mea e pili mai ai ia'u; Ua mau loa no kou lokomaikai, e Iehova, Mai haalele oe i na hana a kou mau lima.

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
