Halelu 7
1 E IEHOVA e ko'u Akua, ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe: E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka poe a pau nana au i hoomaau mai; E hoola mai hoi oe ia'u;
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 O haehae mai oia i ko'u uhane me he liona la, A mokumoku au, aohe mea e ola'i.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 E Iehova e ko'u Akua, iua i hana au i keia; Ina he hewa iloko o ko'u mau lima;
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 Ina i hoihoi aku au i ka hewa i ko'u hoaaloha; A i lawe wale i ka ka mea i huhu hala ole mai ia'u;
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 E pono e alualu mai ka enemi i ko'u uhane, a e hopu mai ia'u; A e hehi mai hoi ia i ko'u ola ilalo i ka honua, A e waiho iho hoi i ko'u uani malalo o ka lepo. (Sila)
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 E ku oe iluna, e Iehova, i kou huhu, E hookiekie ae ia oe iho no ka hookano o ko'u poe enemi: E ala'e oe no'u i ka hookolokolo au i olelo mai ai.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 E hookolokolo o Iehova i na kanaka; E hoopono mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, E like me ko'u pono, a me ko'u oiaio iloko o'u.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Ke pule nei au e oki ka hana hewa o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa oe i ka poe pono; No ka mea, na ke Akua pono i hoao na naau a me na puupaa.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Ua malama mai ke Akua i ka poe pono, Ua huhu mai ke Akua i ka hewa i na la a pau.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Ina i huli ole ia, e hookala no ia i kana pahikaua; Ua lena oia i kana kakaka, ua hooponopono no ia.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Ua hoomakaukau no hoi ia i na mea e make ai nona; Ke pana iho la oia i na pua ahi.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Aia hoi, ua nahunahu ia i ka hewa, Ua hookauhua no ia i ka ino, A ua hanau mai no hoi ia i ka wahahee.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Ua eli iho la oia i ka lua a poopoo, Ua haule iho la no ia ilalo o ka auwaha ana i hana'i.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 E huli hou iho kana hana hewa ana maluna ona iho, A e haule iho hoi kona kolohe ana maluna o kona poo iho.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
