Halelu 8

1 E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau! Ua hohola oe i kou nani maluna o na lani.

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

2 Noloko ae o ka waha o na keiki hou a me na mea omo, I hoomakaukau ai oe i ka hoolea no kou poe enemi, I pilipu ia oe ka enemi, a me ka mea hoomaau.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

3 I ko'u manao ana'ku i kou mau lani, ka hana o kou mau lima, I ka mahina a me na hoku au i hooponopono mai ai;

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

4 Heaha ke kanaka i manao mai ai oe ia ia? A o ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi i ike mai ai oe ia ia?

What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

5 Ua hana iho oe ia ia malalo iho o ka poe anela, Ua kau mai oe ia ia i ka nani a me ka mahalo i lei nona;

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

6 Ua hoolilo oe ia ia i haku no na mea a kou mau lima i hana'i; Nau no i waiho na mea a pau malalo ae o kona mau wawae:

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

7 O na hipa, a me na bipi a pau, Oia, me na holoholona o ke kula;

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

8 O na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea a pau e holo ana ma na ala o ka moana.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

9 E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau!

O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
