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 praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to 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 worship toward thy holy temple, And praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified 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 when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage 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 thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises 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.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know 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 through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

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 perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
