Halelu 141
1 E IEHOVA, ke kahea aku nei au ia oe, E wikiwiki mai oe ia'u, E hooloho hoi i ka leo o ko'u kahea ana aku ia oe.
A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
2 E hooliloia ka'u pule i mohai ala imua ou; A o ka hapai ana hoi o ko'u mau lima i mohai ahiahi.
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
3 E hoonoho mai oe, e Iehova, i mea kiai ma kuu waha, A e malama mai hoi oe i ke pani o ko'u mau lehelehe.
Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
4 Mai hoohuli ae oe i ko'u naau i kekahi mea hewa, E hana i ka hana o ka poe lawelawe, Me ka poe hana kolohe; Aole hoi au e ai i ko lakou mea ono.
Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
5 Na ka poe pono e hahau mai ia'u, he aloha ia: E ao mai oia ia'u he mea hamo maikai ia, A olo ia e wahi ai i kuu poo; No ka mea, e mau ana no ka'u pule no lakou, iloko o ko lakou pilikia.
The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
6 Ua haule ko lakou lunakanawai ma na wahi pohaku, Ua lohe mai nae lakou i ka'u pule, no ka mea, he oluolu ia.
Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 E like me ka mea kohi a hoauauwaha i ka honua, Pela i hooheleleiia'i ko makou iwi ma ke kae o ka lua kupapau. (Sheol h7585)
As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
8 Aia no ia oe ko'u mau maka, o Iehova ka Haku, Ia oe no wau e hilinai aku ai; Mai waiho pu mai oe i ko'u uhane me ko ka poe nele.
For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
9 E malama mai oe ia'u i ka hei a lakou i kaukau ai no'u, A me ka upena o ka poe hana hewa.
Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
10 E haule ka poe hewa iloko o ko lakou hei iho, A e pakele wale aku no wau.
Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
