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;
The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 O haehae mai oia i ko'u uhane me he liona la, A mokumoku au, aohe mea e ola'i.
Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
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 thing, if there be iniquity in 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 rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
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)
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to 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.
Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
7 Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou 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 judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
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.
The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
10 O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of 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 just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
12 Ina i huli ole ia, e hookala no ia i kana pahikaua; Ua lena oia i kana kakaka, ua hooponopono no ia.
Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
13 Ua hoomakaukau no hoi ia i na mea e make ai nona; Ke pana iho la oia i na pua ahi.
And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
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 he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
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 hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
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 sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
17 E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
