Halelu 67

1 E ALOHA mai ke Akua ia makou, A e hoomaikai mai hoi ia makou; A e hoomalamalama mai kona maka ia makou; (Sila)

“For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments. A psalm.” O God! be merciful to us, and bless us, And cause thy face to shine upon us! (Pause)

2 I ikeia kou aoao ma ka honua, A me kou hoola ana ma na lahuikanaka a pau.

That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.

3 E hoolea aku na kanaka ia oe, e ke Akua; E pau hoi na kanaka i ka hoolea aku ia oe,

Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!

4 E hauoli na lahuikanaka, a e oli no ka olioli: No ka mea e hooponopono oe i na kanaka ma ka pololei, A ma ka honua e alakai ai oe ia lakou. (Sila)

Let all the nations be glad, and shout for joy! For justly dost thou judge the people, And govern the nations on the earth.

5 E hoolea aku na kanaka ia oe, e ke Akua; E pau na kanaka i ka hoolea aku ia oe.

Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!

6 Alaila e haawi mai ka honua i kona hua; A e hoomaikai mai ke Akua ko kakou Akua ia kakou.

For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.

7 E hoomaikai mai ke Akua ia kakou; A e makau aku ia ia na welelau a pau o ka honua.

May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
