Halelu 23

1 O IEHOVA ko'u Kahuhipa; Aole o'u mea e nele ai.

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.

2 Nana no wau i hoomoe iho ma na aina uliuli: Ua alakai oia ia'u ma kapa wai lana malie.

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 Ke hoala mai nei oia i ko'u uhane: Ke alakai nei no oia ia'u ma na ala maikai no kona inoa.

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 Oiaio, ina e hele au ma ke awawa malu o ka make, Aole au e weliweli i ka poina: no ka mea, o oe pu kekahi me au; O kou mana, a me kou kookoo, o ko'u mau mea ia e oluolu ai.

Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

5 Ke hoomakaukau mai nei oe i ka papaaina na'u ma ke alo o ko'u mau enemi: Ua kahinu mai oe i kuu poo me ka aila; Ua piha a hu ko'u kiaha.

Thou has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine].

6 Oiaio, e hahai mau ana ia'u ka pono a me ke aloha i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana; A maloko o ka hale o Iehova owau e noho mau loa aku ai.

Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
