From the zenith to the horizon
Ancestors who stand at our back and front
You 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 are your descendants, the Hawaiians
Safeguard us
That we may flourish in the heavens
That we may flourish on earth
That we may flourish in the Hawaiian islands
Grant us knowledge
Grant us strength
Grant us intelligence
Grant us understanding
Grant us insight
Grant us power.
For me I whisper to Akua "Amene" at the end of this chant.
@Pulama Beebe In a group I also clap twice...sometimes when I pule this alone. Mahalo for the reminder...
Nice.. I am studying this.
