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.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

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 holy place, and give you strength 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 keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

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

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

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.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

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 am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in 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 put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong 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 are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

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

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
