Halelu 36
1 O KA lawehala ana o ka mea hewa, oia ke olelo iloko o ko'u naau, Aohe weliweli i ke Akua imua o kona alo.
[For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 No ka mea, malimali oia ia ia iho imua o kona mau maka iho, A ikeia kona hewa he mea e hoowahawahaia.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 O na olelo a kona waha he hewa ia a me ka hoopunipuni: Ua haalele oia i ka naauao a me ka hana maikai.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 Kukakuka oia i ka hewa maluna o kona wahi moe; Ke ku nei no hoi ia ma ka aoao pono ole: Aole ia i hoowahawaha i ka hewa.
He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
5 O kou aloha, e Iehova, aia no i ka lani; A o kou oiaio, e hiki aku no ia i ke ao.
Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 O kou pono na like ia me na kuahiwi o ke Akua; A o kou hooponopono ana he moana nui no ia; Ua malama oe i ke kanaka a me ka holoholona.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
7 Nani ka hemolele o kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua! Nolaila, e kanaho ai na keiki a kanaka i ka malu o kou mau eheu.
How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 E oluolu loa lalkou i ka mea momona o kou hale; A e hoohainu oe ia lakou i ko ka muliwai o ka olioli nou.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 No ka mea, aia no ia oe ke kumuwai o ke ola: A iloko o kou malamalama e ike ai makou i malamalama.
For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
10 E hoomau oe i kou lokomaikai i ka poe ike ia oe, A me kou pono i ka poe naau pololei.
Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Mai noho a pa mai ke kapuwai o ka haaheo ia'u; Aole hoi o lawe aku ka lima o ka mea hewa ia'u.
Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Aia ka poe hana hewa ua hina; Ua hoohioloia lakou ilalo, aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku iluna.
There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
