Halelu 70

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

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] 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 brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

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

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

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 those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as 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 afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
