Halelu 70

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

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.

May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

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

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “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.

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

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! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
