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 Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on 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)
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (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 has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear 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)
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own 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 the sacrifices of righteousness. 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.
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on 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.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are 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.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
