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 by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the 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, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my 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.
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
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.
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
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 judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
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 when one ploughs and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (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 my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
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 laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 E haule ka poe hewa iloko o ko lakou hei iho, A e pakele wale aku no wau.
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.
