Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
1E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua, e aloha mai oe ia'u: No ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei ko'u uhane ia oe: Oiaio ma ka malu o kou mau eheu e kanaho ai au, A hala loa aku keia mau mea e poino ai.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
2E kahea aku au i ke Akua kiekie loa, I ke Akua nana i hana mai no'u.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
3E hoouna mai no oia mai ka laui mai, A e hoopakele mai ia'u i ka nuku ana o na mea manao e ale mai ia'u. Sila. E hoouna no ke Akua i kona aloha a me kona oiaio.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4Eia ko'u uhane iwaena o na liona; Ke moe nei au me ka poe i hoaia, Na keiki a kanaka o ko lakou mau niho he mau ihe me na pua; A he pahikaua oi ko lakou alelo.
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
5E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani: A o kou nani hoi maluna o ka honua a pau.
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
6Ua hoomakaukau lakou i ka upena no ko'u mau kapuwai; Ua kulou iho ko'u uhane: Ua eli lakou i ka lua mamua o'u, A iwaena konu ona i haule ai lakou. Sila.
7My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
7Ua paa ko'u naau, e ke Akua, ua paa ko'u naau, E oli aku au, a e hoolea hoi.
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
8E ala'e, e kuu nani, e ala, e ka violaumi a me ke kinora; Owau nei hoi kekahi e ala'e i ka wanaao.
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
9E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka, e ka Haku; E himeni aku au ia oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
10No ka mea, he nui kou aloha a hala i na lani, A me kou oiaio a hiki i na ao.
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
11E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani; A me kou nani maluna o ka honua a pau.
