Halelu 3
1 E IEHOVA, ua mahuahua ae nei ko'u poe enemi; Ua nui no hoi ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
2 Lehulehu na mea i olelo mai no ko'u uhane, Aole ona kokua iloko o ke Akua. (Sila)
Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.”
3 Aka, o oe, e Iehova, ka paku no'u; O ko'u nani, ka mea nana kuu poo e hapai.
But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 Ua kahea aku wau ia Iehova me ka'u leo; Ua hoolohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona mauna hoano. (Sila)
To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain.
5 Ua moe iho la au ilalo a hiamoe; Ua ala ae la hoi, no ko Iehova malama ana mai ia'u.
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Aole au e makau aku i na umi tausani o kanaka, O ka poe e ku e mai ia'u a puni.
I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7 E ku mai oe, e Iehova, e hoola mai ia'u, e kuu Akua; Ua pepehi oe i ko'u poe enemi a pau ma ke a; Ua uhai oe i na niho o ka poe aia.
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 No Iehova ke ola; O kou hoomaikai ana maluna iho o kou poe ohua. (Sila)
Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people.
