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, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
2 Lehulehu na mea i olelo mai no ko'u uhane, Aole ona kokua iloko o ke Akua. (Sila)
Many are saying 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.
And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and 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)
My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from 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 — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, 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 am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set 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, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
8 No Iehova ke ola; O kou hoomaikai ana maluna iho o kou poe ohua. (Sila)
Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! (Selah)
