The Protector

You ancestral deities from the rising to the setting sun

From the zenith to the horizon

You ancestral deities who stand at our back and at our front

You gods who stand at our right hand

A breathing in the heavens,

An utterance in the heavens,

A clear ringing voice in the heavens,

A voice reverberating in the heavens.

Here is your descendant,

Safeguard us.

May the heavens flourish,

May the earth flourish,

May the whole archipelago of Hawai‘i flourish.

Grant me knowledge,

Grant me strength,

Grant me expertise,

Grant me true understanding,

Grant me deep insight,

Grant me spiritual power.
