Halelu 70

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

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

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 those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

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 may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

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.

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
