Psalms 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.
E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, e ale mai paha na kanaka ia'u; E paio aua i kela la i keia la, ua hooluhihewa mai oia ia'u.
2 My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
E ake ko'u mau enemi e ale ia'u i kela la i keia la; No ka mea, he nui no ka poe e kaua ana ia'u, e ka Mea kiekie loa.
3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
I ko'u manawa e makau ai, E hilinai aku au ia oe.
4 In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo au i kana olelo; O ke Akua ka'u i hilinai aku ai, aole au e makau; Heaha ka ka io o hana mai ai ia'u?
5 All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
I kela la i keia la, ua hookahuli lakou i ka'u mau olelo; Pau ko lakou mau manao i ke ku e ia'u no ka hewa.
6 They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
Ua akoakoa lakou, ua pee iho la hoi, Ua nana mai lakou i ko u mau kapuwai, I ko lakou kakali ana i ko'u uhane.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
He pakele anei ko lakou ma ka hewa? I ka huhu, e kiola iho ai i na kanaka, e ke Akua,
8 Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?
Ua helu oe i ko'u auwana ana: E ukuki oe i ko'u waimaka i kou omole: Aole anei ia iloko o kau buke?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.
Aia kahea aku au, alaila e hoi ihope ko'u enemi: Ua ike au ia mea, no ka mea, mamuli o'u ke Akua.
10 In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.
Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo mau au i ka olelo: Iloko o Iehova e hoomaikai au i ka olelo:
11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Maluna o ke Akua i hilinai aku ai au, aole e makau; Heaha ka ke kanaka e hana mai ai ia'u?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.
Maluna o'u ka berita ana nou, e ke Akua: E haawi aku au i ka hoolea ia oe.
13 For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
No ka mea, ua hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka make: Aole anei e hoopakele i ko'u mau kapuwai i ka hina ana? I hele au imua o ke Akua ma ka malamalama o ka poe ola.
