Halelu 121

1 E LEHA aku au i ko'u mau maka i na mauna, Mailaila mai ko'u kokua e hiki mai ai.

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 Mai Iehova mai ko'u kokua, Nana no i hana i ka lani, a me ka honua.

Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Aole ia e haawi i kou wawae i ke kulanalana; O ka mea malama ia oe, aole ia e maluhiluhi.

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 Aia hoi, o ka mea malama i ka Iseraela, Aole ia e maluhiluhi, aole ia e hiamoe.

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 O Iehova no kou kiai; O Iehova no kou malu, ma kou lima akau.

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 Aole e hahau mai ka la ia oe i ke ao, Aole hoi o ka mahina i ka po.

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 E malama mai no o Iehova ia oe i ka ino a pau; Nana no e malama i kou uhane.

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 E kiai no o Iehova i kou puka ana iwaho a me kou komo ana iloko, Mai keia wa a ka manawa pau ole.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
