Halelu 20

1 E HOOLOHE mai o Iehova ia oe i ka la popilikia; I ola oe i ka inoa o ke Akua no Iakoba.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Mai kona keenakapu mai e hoouna mai ai oia i kou mea nana e alu; Mai Ziona mai e kokua mai ai oia ia oe.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 E hoomanao mai hoi i kau mau mohai a pau; A e hoopono mai hoi i kau mohai kuni. (Sila)

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 E haawi mai hoi e like me kou naau iho, E hooko mai hoi i kou manao a pau.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 I kou ola e hauoli ai makou, A i ka inoa o ko kakou Akua e kau ai kakou i ka hae: E ae mai hoi o Iehova i kau pule a pau.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 Ano ua ike au, ua hoola o Iehova i kona mea i poniia; Ma kona lani hoano no ia e hoolohe mai ai ia ia, Me ka mana o kona lima akau e ola'i.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Ma na kaakaua kekahi poe, ma na lio kekahi i manao ai; Aka, e hoomanao kakou i ka inoa o Iehova o ko kakou Akua.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Ua emi lakou, ua haule ilalo; Aka, ua ala mai nei makou a ku pono iluna.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 E hoola mai, e Iehova; E hoolohe mai ke alii ia makou i ko makou kahea ana.

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
