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 of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

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 bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

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 the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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 shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

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

Yea, they shall sing of 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 though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth 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.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save 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 accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
