Halelu 6

1 E IEHOVA, mai hoohewa mai oe ia'u me kou huhu; Mai hahau mai oe ia'u, me kou inaina nui.

For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!

2 E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua nawaliwali au; E Iehova, e lapaau mai oe ia'u, no ka mea, ua haalulu ko'u mau iwi.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.

3 Ua pioloke loa ko'u uhane, Aka o oe, e Iehova, pehea la hoi ka loihi?

I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?

4 E hoi mai, e Iehova, e hoopakele mai i ko'u uhane: E hoola mai oe ia'u no ka pono o kou aloha.

Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!

5 No ka mea, maloko o ka make aohe manao ia oe: Maloko o ka malu o ka make, owai la ka mea e hoolea aku ia oe? (Sheol h7585)

For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)

6 Ua luhi au i ko'u auwe ana; I ka po a pau i hoolana ai au i ko'u moena: Ua hoopulu au i ko'u wahi moe me ko'u waimaka.

My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.

7 Ua pau e kuu maka no ko'u ehaeha; Ua kahiko e no ia no ko'u poe enemi a pau.

With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.

8 E hele aku mai o'u aku nei, e ka poe hana ino a pau; No ka mea, ua lohe mai o Iehova i ka leo o ko'u uwe ana.

Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!

9 Ua lohe mai o Iehova i ko'u nonoi ana; E ae mai ana no o Iehova i ka'u pule.

The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.

10 E pioloke ko'u poe enemi a pau me ka haalulu loa; E hoi no lakou me ka hilahila koke.

All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
