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 chief musician; set to the gittith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth, you who reveal your glory in the heavens above.

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 babies and infants you have established praise because of your enemies, so that you might silence both 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;

When I look up at your heavens, which your fingers have made, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

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?

Of what importance is the human race that you notice them, or mankind that you pay attention to them?

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 you have made them only a little lower than the heavenly beings and have crowned them 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:

You make him to rule over the works of your hands; you have 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, and even the animals of the field,

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 heavens, and the fish of the sea, everything that passes through the currents of the seas.

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

Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth!
