Halelu 70

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

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 those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

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

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who 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 who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always 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; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.
