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;
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do 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 he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
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 there is 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 rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
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 persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)
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 thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
7 Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore 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 shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] 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.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
My defense [is] from God, who saveth 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 judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] 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.
If he turn not, he will whet 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.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
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 travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth 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 made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch [which] 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 mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
