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.

I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.

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 your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your 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 when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength 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.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, 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.

Yea, they shall 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.

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows far 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 walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand shall 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 perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
