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. A psalm of David. Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.

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 villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,

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;

who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,

4 I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.

which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.

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 strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, ‘Who can see?’

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 think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

7 Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.

But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

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.

For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

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 every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.

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.

In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.
