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.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2 E kahea aku au i ke Akua kiekie loa, I ke Akua nana i hana mai no'u.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for 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 heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
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 soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani: A o kou nani hoi maluna o ka honua a pau.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above 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 have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
7 Ua paa ko'u naau, e ke Akua, ua paa ko'u naau, E oli aku au, a e hoolea hoi.
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
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.
Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
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 give thanks to you, YHWH, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you 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 your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11 E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani; A me kou nani maluna o ka honua a pau.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
