Halelu 64
1 E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u leo, i ka'u kamailio ana'ku: E hoomalu i kuu ola nei, i ka makau ana i ka enemi.
For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
2 E huna mai ia'u mai ka ohumu malu ana o ka poe hewa; Mai ka hoohaunaele ana hoi o ka poe lawehala:
Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;
3 Ka poe i hookala i ko lakou alelo me he pahikaua la; A i lena no hoi ko lakou mau pua, he mau olelo awahia;
who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
4 I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.
to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
5 Hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka mea ino; Kukakuka lakou e waiho malu i na pahele; Olelo no hoi lakou, Owai la na mea e ike ia lakou?
They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
6 Imi no hoi lakou i na mea hewa; Huli lakou me ka imi ikaika: O ka manao a me ka naau o lakou he hohonu ia.
They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,
7 Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.
and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,
8 Pela e hoohaule iho lakou i ko lakou alelo maluna o lakou iho; E holo aku no hoi ka poe a pau i ike ia lakou.
and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;
9 E pau no hoi na kanaka i ka makau, A e hai aku i ka hana a ke Akua; No ka mea, e noonoo naauao lakou i kana hana ana.
and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.
10 E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
