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 Melody of David, when he fled from before Absolom his son. Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;
2 Lehulehu na mea i olelo mai no ko'u uhane, Aole ona kokua iloko o ke Akua. (Sila)
Multitudes, are saying of my soul, —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, Yahweh, 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—unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. (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 awoke, Surely, Yahweh, 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 be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.
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.
Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.
8 No Iehova ke ola; O kou hoomaikai ana maluna iho o kou poe ohua. (Sila)
To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. (Selah)
