Halelu 40
1 U A kali ahonui aku la au ia Iehova, A maliu mai ia me ka hoolohe i ko'u hea ana.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 Ua lawe mai oia ia'u mai loko mai o ka lua weliweli, Mai loko mai o ka lepo poho, A ua hooku i ko'u mau kapuwai maluna o ka pohaku, A ua hooku pono oia i kuu hele ana.
He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
3 Ua haawi mai oia i ka mele hou iloko o kuu waha, I ka hoolea i ko kakou Akua: E ike auanei na mea he nui, a e weliweli hoi, A e hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Pomaikai ke kanaka i hoolilo ia Iehova i mea e hilinai ai nona: Aole hoi i mahalo i ka poe haaheo, Aole hoi i ka poe kapae ma ka wahahee.
Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
5 He nui na mea kupaianaha au i hana'i, e Iehova kuu Akua, A me ou manao ia makou; Aole ia e helu pololei ia'ku ia oe: Ina makemake au e hai heluhelu aku, Ua nui loa ia, aole e pau i ka heluia.
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
6 O ka mohai a me ka alana kau i makemake ole ai; O ko'u mau pepeiao kau i hoohakahaka mai ai; O ka mohalkuni a me ka mohailawehala kau i kauoha ole mai ai.
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
7 Alaila i aku la au, Eia, ke hele mai nei au; Ma ka buke palapala i kakauia'i no'u,
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:
8 Ke hauoli nei au i ka hana aku i kou makemake, e ko'u Akua: Oiaio, o kou kanawai hoi eia iloko o ko'u naau.
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
9 Ua hai aku au i ka pono i ke anaina nui: Eia hoi, aole au i hoopaa i kuu mau lehelehe, E Iehova, ua ike no hoi oe.
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
10 Aole au i huna i kou pono iloko o ko'u naau; Ua hai aku no hoi au i kou oiaio a me kou ola: Aole au i huna i kou lokomaikai, a me kou oiaio, i ke anaina nui.
I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
11 Mai aua mai oe i kou aloha ia'u, e Iehova; E hoomalu mau mai kou lokomaikai me kou oiaio ia'u.
O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
12 No ka mea, ua hoopuni mai ia'u na mea ino, aole e pau i ka heluia: Ua lalau mai ko'u mau hewa ia'u, Aole hiki ia'u ke nana iluna: Ua oi aku lakou mamua o na lauoho o kuu poo: Nolaila i haalele ai ko'u naau ia'u.
For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
13 E oluolu hoi oe, e Iehova, e hoola ia'u: E wiki mai, e Iehova, e kokua mai ia'u.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14 E hoohilahilaia, a e hoka pu ka poe imi mai i ko'u uhane e hoomake mai ia; E kipakuia'ku i hope ka poe i makemake e poino au.
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
15 E hooneoneoia hoi lakou i uku no ka hilahila o lakou, Ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, Aia la, aia la!
May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
16 E hauoli aku a e olioli no hoi ia oe, Na mea a pau i imi aku ia oe: A e olelo mau ka poe makemake i kou ola, E hoonaniia'ku o Iehova.
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
17 Aka, ua haahaa au a me ka nele; Hoomanao mai no nae ka Haku ia'u: O oe no ko'u kokua a me ko'u Hoola; Mai hookaulua iki oe, e ko'u Akua.
But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
