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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Lehulehu na mea i olelo mai no ko'u uhane, Aole ona kokua iloko o ke Akua. (Sila)
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help 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 you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up 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)
I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (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 myself down and slept. I awakened, 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 be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves 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, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken 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. (Selah)
