Psalms 43

1 Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, No'u nei hoi e hakaka'i i ka lahuikanaka aloha ole: E hoopakele ia'u i ke kanaka hooopunipuni, me ka hoopono ole.

2 You are the God of my strength; why have you put me from you? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

No ka mea, o oe no ko'u Akua e ikaika ai: No ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai ia'u? No ka aha la e u hele ai au no ka hooluhihewa ana mai o ka enemi?

3 O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

E hoopnka i kou malamalama a me kou oiaio: E alakai ia mau mea ia'u; A e lawe hoi ia'u i kou mauna hoano, a i kou mau halelewa.

4 Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God.

Alaila e hele au i ke kuahu o ke Akua, I ke Akua ko'u olioli nui: Oiaio, ma ka lira e hoolea aku ai au ia oe, e ke Akua ko'u Akua.

5 Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

No ke aha la oe i hoohaahaaia'i, e kuu uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E hoolana i ka manao i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia: Oia ke ola o ko'u maka, a me kuu Akua.
