< Psalms 16 >

1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
E kuu uhane, ua i aku oe ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Haku; Aole i hiki aku ko'u maikai ia oe;
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
E hoonuiia'na ka eha o ka poe e hahai i ka mea e; Aole au e mohai aku i ko lakou mohaiinu koko, Aole hoi e hapai i ko lakou inoa i kou mau Iehelehe.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
O Iehova ka io o ko'u hooilina a me ko'u kiaha; Ke hoomau mai nei oe i ko'u pauku.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova, nana ka olelo i haawi mai ia'u, Ua ao mai hoi ia'u ko'u mau puupaa i na po.
8 I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ke waiho mau nei no au ia Iehova imua o ko'u alo: Oia ma ko'u lima akau, nolaila au e kulanalana ole ai.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
Nolaila ko'u naau o hauoli nei, a e olioli nei ko'u nani, Oiaio, e hoomaha hoi ko'u kino me ka manaolana.
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
No ka mea, aole oe e haalele i ko'u uhane i ka malu o ka make, Aole hoi oe e waiho iho i kou mea hoano a ike i ka palaho. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
E hoike mai no oe ia'u i ke kuamoo e ola'i; Ina no ma kou alo ka nui wale o ka olioli; Ma kou lima akau ka hauoli mau loa.
