< Halelu 64 >

1 E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u leo, i ka'u kamailio ana'ku: E hoomalu i kuu ola nei, i ka makau ana i ka enemi.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!
2 E huna mai ia'u mai ka ohumu malu ana o ka poe hewa; Mai ka hoohaunaele ana hoi o ka poe lawehala:
Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!
3 Ka poe i hookala i ko lakou alelo me he pahikaua la; A i lena no hoi ko lakou mau pua, he mau olelo awahia;
For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,
4 I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.
To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.
5 Hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka mea ino; Kukakuka lakou e waiho malu i na pahele; Olelo no hoi lakou, Owai la na mea e ike ia lakou?
They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”
6 Imi no hoi lakou i na mea hewa; Huli lakou me ka imi ikaika: O ka manao a me ka naau o lakou he hohonu ia.
They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.
7 Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.
But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 Pela e hoohaule iho lakou i ko lakou alelo maluna o lakou iho; E holo aku no hoi ka poe a pau i ike ia lakou.
Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.
9 E pau no hoi na kanaka i ka makau, A e hai aku i ka hana a ke Akua; No ka mea, e noonoo naauao lakou i kana hana ana.
Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.
10 E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.
The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
