  We deal with the Hamiltonian hierarchy problem of the Hulth\'{e}n potential
within the frame of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics and find that the
associated superymmetric partner potentials simulate the effect of the
centrifugal barrier. Incorporating the supersymmetric solutions and using the
first-order perturbation theory we obtain an expression for the energy levels
of theHulth\'{e}n potential which gives satisfactory values for the non-zero
angular momentum states.
