5 E halelu aku lakou ia Iehova; No ka mea, kauoha mai la ia, a hanaia iho la lakou.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, For he commanded, and they were created.

kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Na kanaka opiopio, a me na kaikamahine; Ka poe kahiko, a me na keiki;
both young men and maidens; old men and children:
13 E halelu aku lakou i ka inoa o Iehova; No ka mea, o kona inoa wale no ka i hookiekieia: Ua kiekie hoi kona nani maluna o ka honua a me ka lani.
let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Ua hookiekie oia i ka pepeiaohao o kona poe kanaka, Oia ka nani o kona poe haipule a pau; O na mamo hoi o ka Iseraela, He poe kanaka e noho kokoke ana ia ia. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
