Psalms 28
1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.
I A oe, e Iehova, e kahea aku ai au e kuu pohaku, mai hookuli mai oe ia'u; O like auanei au me ka poe iho ilalo o ka Iua, ke hookuli mai oe ia'u.
2 Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
E hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka'u pule, i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia oe, I ka hapai ana o kuu mau lima i kou wahi hoano.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
Mai alako ae ia'u me ka poe aia, me ka poe hana hewa, Ka poe olelo aloha i ko lakou mau hoalauna, He hewa no nae maloko o ko lakou mau naau.
4 Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.
E haawi ia lakou e like me ka lakou mau hana; A mamuli o ka hewa o ko lakou hooikaika ana; E haawi ia lakou mamuli o ka hana o ko lakou mau lima; E uku ia lakou no ka lakou hana.
5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manao i na hana a Iehova, Aole hoi i ka hana ana o kona mau lima, E wawahi oia ia lakou, aole e kukulu ia lakou iluna.
6 Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai no ia i ka leo a ka'u mau pule.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.
O Iehova kuu ikaika a me kuu palekaua; Ia ia i hilinai ai kun naau, a ua kokuaia mai au; Nolaila i hauoli nui ai kuu naau, A ma kuu mele e hoolea aku ai au ia ia.
8 The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
O Iehova ko lakou ikaika; Oia hoi ka ikaika e ola'i kona mea i poniia.
9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
E hoola i kou poe kanaka, a e hoomaikai i kou hooilina: E hanai ia lakou, a e kaikai ia lakou a mau loa.
