Halelu 4
1 I KA'U uolo ana'ku e lohe mai ia'u, e ke Akua o'u e pono ai: Ua hoakea mai oe ia'u i ko'u popilikia; E aloha mai oe ia'u, e hoolohe mai hoi i ka'u pule.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 E na keiki a kanaka, pehea la ka loihi O ko oukou hoolilo ana i ko'u nani i me a hilahila? No ke aha la e aloha ai oukou i ka lapuwale, A imi hoi i wahahee? (Sila)
O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 E ike hoi oukou na hoana e o Iehova i ka mea haipulo nona; E lohe mai no o Iehova i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia ia.
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 E haalulu oukou, mai hana hewa; E kukakuka me ko oukou naau iho, Ma ko oukou wahi moe e noho malie ai. (Sila)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 E kaumaha aku oukou i ka mohai pono, E lelepau ko oukou manao ia Iehova.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 He nui no ka poe i olelo mai, Owai ka mea o hoike mai i ka pono ia kakou? E Iehova, e hoomalamalama mai kou maka ia makou.
[There be] many that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Ua hookomo mai oe i ka olioli iloko o ko'u naau, A oi aku ko'u i ko lakou i ka mahuahua ana'e o ka palaoa a me ka waina.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased.
8 E moe au ilalo me ka maluhia, a hiamoe: No ka mea, o oe wale no, e Iehova, ka i hoomalu mai i ko'u noho ana.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
