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 Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that 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 my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Aka, o oe, e Iehova, ka paku no'u; O ko'u nani, ka mea nana kuu poo e hapai.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of 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)
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 Ua moe iho la au ilalo a hiamoe; Ua ala ae la hoi, no ko Iehova malama ana mai ia'u.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth 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 for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
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, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 No Iehova ke ola; O kou hoomaikai ana maluna iho o kou poe ohua. (Sila)
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
