Halelu 70

1 I OLA au, e ke Akua, E wikiwiki mai, e Iehova, e kokua mai ia'u.

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

2 E hoohilahilaia, e hoohokaia hoi ka poe e imi ana i ko'u uhane: E hoohuliia ihope, a hoka ka poe makemake i ka hewa no'u.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

3 E hoihoiia ihope i uku no ko lakou hilahila, Ka poe i olelo mai, Aia la! Aia la!

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

4 Aka, e olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe a pau i imi aku ia oe: A e olelo mau ka poe a pau i makemake i kou ola, E hoonuiia ke Akua.

Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 Aka, ua ilihune au a ua nele hoi; E holo koke mai ia'u, e ke Akua: O oe no ko'u Kokua a me ko'u Hoola; E Iehova, mai hookaulua aku oe.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
