Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
E HOOLOHE mai oe i ka'u pule, o Iehova, E haliu mai hoi i ko'u nonoi ana; A ma koa oiaio, a ma kou pono, e ae mai ia'u.
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Mai hookolokolo mai oe i kau kauwa, No ka mea, aole o aponoia kekahi mea ola imua ou.
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
Ua hoomaau mai ka enemi i ko'u uhane; Ua ulupa oia i ko'u ola ilalo i ka honua; Ua hoonoho mai oia ia'u ma ka pouli, E like me ka poe i loihi ka make ana.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Ua maule no ko'u ea iloko o'u; Ua neoneo hoi ko'u naau maloko ia'u.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Ua hoomanao no wau i na la o ka wa kahiko; Ua noonoo no wau ma kau mau hana a pau; Ma ka hana o kou lima ua noonoo nui wau.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
Hohola aku au i ko'u mau lima ia oe; Me he aina maloo la, ko'u uhane, i ka iini ia oe. (Sila)
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
E hoolohe koke mai oe ia'u e Iehova, Ua maule ko'u uhane; Mai huna oe i kou maka ia'u, O like auanei au me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
E haawi mai oe ia'u i ka hoolohe i kou lokomaikai i ke kakahiaka, No ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe: E hoike mai oe ia'u i ke ala au e hele ai, No ka mea, ke hapai aku nei au i ko'u uhane ia oe.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
E hoopakele mai oe ia'u i ko'u poe enemi, e Iehova; Ia oe no wau e holo ai, e huna mai oe ia'u.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
E ao mai oe ia'u e hana i kou makemake, No ka mea, o oe no ko'u Akua, ua maikai no kou uhane; E alakai oe ia'u a iloko o ka aina pololei.
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
E hooikaika mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no kou inoa; No kou pono hoi e hoopuka aku oe i ko'u uhane mawaho o ka pilikia.
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Ma kou lokomaikai, e hooki ae oe i ko'u poe enemi, A e anai mai hoi i ka poe a pau i hoomaau mai ia'u; No ka mea, owau no kau kauwa.
