Halelu 61

1 E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u kahea ana; E maliu pono mai i ka'u pule.

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

2 Mai ka welau o ka honua e kahea aku ai au ia oe, I ka paumako o ko'u naau; E alakai oe ia'u i ka pohaku kiekie maluna o'u.

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

3 No ka mea, ua lilo mai oe i paku no'u; He halekaua paa imua o ka enemi.

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

4 E noho wau maloko o kou halelewa a mau loa: E kanaho au ma ka hoomalu ana o kou mau eheu. (Sila)

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

5 No ka mea, ua lohe oe, e ke Akua, i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki ai: Ua haawi mai hoi oe ia'u i ka hooilina o ka poe weliweli i kou inoa.

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6 E hooloihi no oe i na la o ke alii: A i kona mau makahiki ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

7 E noho ia imua o ke Akua a mau loa; E hoomakaukau mai oe i ke aloha a me ka oiaio, e ola'i ia.

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

8 Pela, e himeni mau loa aku au i kou inoa, E hooko aku i kela la i keia la i ka'u mau mea i berita ai.

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
