Halelu 57
1 E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua, e aloha mai oe ia'u: No ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei ko'u uhane ia oe: Oiaio ma ka malu o kou mau eheu e kanaho ai au, A hala loa aku keia mau mea e poino ai.
To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the cave. Have mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.
2 E kahea aku au i ke Akua kiekie loa, I ke Akua nana i hana mai no'u.
I will call vnto the most high God, euen to the God, that performeth his promise toward me.
3 E hoouna mai no oia mai ka laui mai, A e hoopakele mai ia'u i ka nuku ana o na mea manao e ale mai ia'u. (Sila) E hoouna no ke Akua i kona aloha a me kona oiaio.
He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me. (Selah) God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.
4 Eia ko'u uhane iwaena o na liona; Ke moe nei au me ka poe i hoaia, Na keiki a kanaka o ko lakou mau niho he mau ihe me na pua; A he pahikaua oi ko lakou alelo.
My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, and their tongue a sharpe sworde.
5 E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani: A o kou nani hoi maluna o ka honua a pau.
Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
6 Ua hoomakaukau lakou i ka upena no ko'u mau kapuwai; Ua kulou iho ko'u uhane: Ua eli lakou i ka lua mamua o'u, A iwaena konu ona i haule ai lakou. (Sila)
They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it. (Selah)
7 Ua paa ko'u naau, e ke Akua, ua paa ko'u naau, E oli aku au, a e hoolea hoi.
Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.
8 E ala'e, e kuu nani, e ala, e ka violaumi a me ke kinora; Owau nei hoi kekahi e ala'e i ka wanaao.
Awake my tongue, awake viole and harpe: I wil awake early.
9 E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka, e ka Haku; E himeni aku au ia oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
10 No ka mea, he nui kou aloha a hala i na lani, A me kou oiaio a hiki i na ao.
For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.
11 E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani; A me kou nani maluna o ka honua a pau.
Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
