< 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.
A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.
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 will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.
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.
In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in 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.
Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
5 E oli no lakou i na aoao o Iehova, No ka mea, nui no ka nani o Iehova.
And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
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.
For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.
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.
Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved 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.
O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
