Halelu 11

1 KE hilinai aku nei au ia Iehova; Pehea oukou e i mai ai i ko'u uhane, E lele i ko oukou mauna me he manu la?

“To the chief musician, by David.” In the Lord have I put my trust: how can ye say to my soul, Flee to your mountain as a bird?

2 Aia hoi ka poe hewa ke lena la i ka lakou kakaka, Ke hoomakaukau la i ka lakou pua ma ke kaula, E pana malu aku lakou i ka poe naau kupono.

For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they arrange their arrow upon the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.

3 Ina e hoohioloia na kumu, Heaha la hoi ka ka mea pono e hana'i?

For [if] the foundations be torn down, what can the righteous do?

4 Ina no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; Ina no o ka nohoalii o Iehova maluna o ka lani: Ke nana mai la kona mau maka; Ke hoao mai la kona mau lihilihi i na keiki a kanaka.

The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord hath his throne in the heavens, his eyes behold, his eyelids prove, the children of men.

5 Ke hoao la o Iehova i ka mea pono, Aka, ke inaina la kona Uhane i ka mea hewa, A me ka mea i makemake i ke kolohe.

The Lord proveth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

6 Maluna iho o ka poe hewa oia e hooua mai ai i na kaula uila, A me ke ahi, ka luaipele, a me ka ino huhu: Oia ka piha o ko lakou kiaha.

He letteth rain upon the wicked burning coals, fire and brimstone; and a glowing wind is the portion of their cup.

7 No ka mea, ke aloha mai la ka Haku pono i ka pono; Ke haliu mai la kona maka i ka mea pololei.

For righteous is the Lord, he loveth righteousness: his countenance doth behold the upright.
