Halelu 23

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

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters 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 refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort 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.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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.

Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
