Halelu 63
1 E KE Akua, o oe no ko'u Akua, e imi koke no au ia oe; Ke makewai nei no hoi ko'u uhane nou, Ke iini nei ko'u kino ia oe i ka aina maloo, Me ka makewai, ma kahi wai ole;
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
2 I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.
3 No ka mea, ua oi aku ka pono o kou lokomaikai mamua o ke ola nei, E hoolea aku ko'u mau lehelehe ia oe.
For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.
4 Pela e hoomaikai aku ai au ia oe i ko'u ola nei; I kou inoa, e hapai ai au i ko'u mau lima.
So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 E maona auanei ko'u uhane me he mea la he ono loa a me ka momona; Me na lehelehe olioli e hoolea aku ai ko'u waha;
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
6 I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
They shall be given over to the power of the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 Aka, e olioli ke alii ike Akua; E hauoli hoi na mea a pau i hoohiki ma o na la, Aka, e hoopaaia ka waha o ka poe olelo wahahee.
But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
