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.
For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favor 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)
How long, you proud people, will my honor be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (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.
See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to 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)
Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 E kaumaha aku oukou i ka mohai pono, E lelepau ko oukou manao ia Iehova.
Offer true sacrifice, 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.
Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
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.
You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
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.
So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
