Psalms 52

1 Why boast thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The loving kindness of God is continual.

NO ke aha la e hoonui ai oe ma ka hewa, e ke kanaka ikaika? E mau loa ana no ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.

2 Thy tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.

3 Thou love evil more than good, and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

Makemake no oe i ka ino, aole i ka maikai; A i ka hoopunipuni ana hoi, aole i ka olelo i ka pono. (Sila)

4 Thou love all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.

5 God will likewise destroy thee forever. He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

E hoohiolo mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe a mau loa, E kiola aku oia ia oe, a kaili aku mai loko aku o kou wahi i noho ai, A e uhuki ae hoi oia ia oe mailoko ae o ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sila)

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,

E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.

7 Lo, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Aia hoi, oia ke kanaka i lawe ole i ke Akua i ikaika nona; Aka, ua hilinai i ka nui o kona waiwai iho, A ua hooikaika ia ia iho iloko o kona hewa.

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving kindness of God forever and ever.

Aka, he mea like au me ka laauoliva uliuli iloko a ka hale o ke Akua; E hilinai mau aku wau i ke aloha o ke Akua a mau loa aku.

9 I will give thee thanks forever, because thou have done it. And I will hope in thy name in the presence of thy sanctified, for it is good.

E hoolea mau loa aku au ia oe, No ka mea, nau no ia i hana; E hilinai hoi au i kou inoa; No ka mea, he pono ia imua o kou poe haipule.
