Psalms 7
1 O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
E IEHOVA e ko'u Akua, ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe: E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka poe a pau nana au i hoomaau mai; E hoola mai hoi oe ia'u;
2 lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O haehae mai oia i ko'u uhane me he liona la, A mokumoku au, aohe mea e ola'i.
3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands,
E Iehova e ko'u Akua, iua i hana au i keia; Ina he hewa iloko o ko'u mau lima;
4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),
Ina i hoihoi aku au i ka hewa i ko'u hoaaloha; A i lawe wale i ka ka mea i huhu hala ole mai ia'u;
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it. Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
E pono e alualu mai ka enemi i ko'u uhane, a e hopu mai ia'u; A e hehi mai hoi ia i ko'u ola ilalo i ka honua, A e waiho iho hoi i ko'u uani malalo o ka lepo. (Sila)
6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger. Lift up thyself against the rage of my adversaries, and awake for me the justice thou have commanded.
E ku oe iluna, e Iehova, i kou huhu, E hookiekie ae ia oe iho no ka hookano o ko'u poe enemi: E ala'e oe no'u i ka hookolokolo au i olelo mai ai.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples encompass thee about, and return thou on high over them.
Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
8 Jehovah shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
E hookolokolo o Iehova i na kanaka; E hoopono mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, E like me ko'u pono, a me ko'u oiaio iloko o'u.
9 O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.
Ke pule nei au e oki ka hana hewa o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa oe i ka poe pono; No ka mea, na ke Akua pono i hoao na naau a me na puupaa.
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
11 God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.
Ua malama mai ke Akua i ka poe pono, Ua huhu mai ke Akua i ka hewa i na la a pau.
12 If a man does not repent, he will whet his sword. He has bent his bow, and made it ready.
Ina i huli ole ia, e hookala no ia i kana pahikaua; Ua lena oia i kana kakaka, ua hooponopono no ia.
13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.
Ua hoomakaukau no hoi ia i na mea e make ai nona; Ke pana iho la oia i na pua ahi.
14 Behold the wicked man, he travails with iniquity. Yea, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Aia hoi, ua nahunahu ia i ka hewa, Ua hookauhua no ia i ka ino, A ua hanau mai no hoi ia i ka wahahee.
15 He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Ua eli iho la oia i ka lua a poopoo, Ua haule iho la no ia ilalo o ka auwaha ana i hana'i.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own scalp.
E huli hou iho kana hana hewa ana maluna ona iho, A e haule iho hoi kona kolohe ana maluna o kona poo iho.
17 I will give thanks to Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
