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.

“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory 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 mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and 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;

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:

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, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?

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;

Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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:

Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, —

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

All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;

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, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.

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

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
