Halelu 101

1 E OLI no wau i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono; Ia oe no wau, e Iehova, e hoolea aku ai.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

2 E hana naauno no wau ma ka aoao o ka pono. Ahea la oe e hele mai ai ia'u? E holoholo no wau maloko o ko'u hale, Me ka pono o ko'u naau.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Aole au e kau i ka hewa imua o ko'u mau maka; Ua inaina aku au i ka mea hana ino, Aole ia e pili mai ia'u.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 E haalele anauei ka naau kekee ia'u, Aole au e ike aku i ke kanaka hewa.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 O ka mea ahiahi malu i kona hoalauna, Oia ka'u e hooki aku; O ka mea maka hookiekie, a naau hookano hoi, Aole au e hoomanawanui ia ia.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 Aia uo ko'u mau maka ma ka poe oiaio o ka aina, I noho mai ai lakou me au. O ka mea hele ma ka aoao o ka pono, Nana no e hookauwa mai na'u.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 Aole e noho iloko o ko'u hale ka mea hana hoopunipuni; Aole e noho ma ko'u alo, ka mea olelo wahahee.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 E hooki koke no wau i ka poe hewa a pau o ka aina, I hoopau wau i ka poe hana hewa a pau, Mai ke kulanakauhale o Iehova aku.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
