Psalms 17
1 A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
E HOOLOHE mai i ka pono, e Iehova; E manao mai oe i ka'u ulono ana'ku; E maliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u pule, Mai loko ae o na lehelehe hookamani ole.
2 Let my judgement come forth from your presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.
Mai kou alo pono mai e puka mai ai ka olelo no'u; E nana mai kou mau maka i na mea ewaewa ole.
3 You has proved mine heart; you have visited [me] by night; you have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
Ua hoao mai nei oe i ko'u naau; Ua ike mai nei oe ia'u i ka po; Ua hoao mai nei oe ia'u, aohe e loaa ia oe: Ua paa kuu manao aole e hoohala kuu waha.
4 As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
I na hana a kanaka, no ka olelo pono mai a kou mau lehelehe, Ua malama au ia'u iho i na aoao o ka mea e make ai.
5 Direct my steps in your paths, that my steps slip not.
E hookupono mai oe i ko'u hele ana ma kou mau alanui, I ole ai ko'u mou kapuwai e pahee.
6 I have cried, for you heard me, O God: incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
Ua kahea aku au ia oe, no ka mea, e lohe mai no oe ia'u, e ke Akua; E haliu mai ia'u kou pepeiao, e lono mai i ka'u olelo.
7 Show the marvels of your mercies, you that save them that hope in you.
E hoike mai oe i kou lokomaikai kupaianaha, E ka mea nana ka poe hilinai e hoopakele me kou lima akau i ka poe i ku e mai.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,
E malama mai oe ia'u e like me ke kii onohi o ka maka, E huna oe ia'u malalo ae o ka malu o kou mau eheu,
9 from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
Mai ke alo mai o ka poe hewa i hooluhi mai ai ia'u, O ko'u poe enemi e make ai i hoopuni mai ia'u.
10 They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
Ua puni lakou i ko lakou momona: Ua olelo haaheo lakou me ko lakou waha.
11 They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
Ua hoopuni iho nei lakou ia makou i ko makou hele ana, Ua haka ko lakou maka me ke kulou ana ma ka lepo;
12 They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places].
Me he liona pololi la e kuko ana i kana pio. Me he liona opiopio la, e moemoe malu ana ma na wahi anoano.
13 Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] your sword,
E ku ae, e Iehova, e hoolapuwale ia ia, e kiola oe ia ia ilalo: E hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka mea ino, i kau pahikaua;
14 because of the enemies of your hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with your hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.
I na kanaka, i ka lima on, e Iehova, I ka poe ma keia ao, i loaa ko lakou waiwai i keia ola ana, Ua hoopihaia mai e oe ko lakou opu me kou waiwai i hunaia: Ua maona ko lakou mau kamalii, A waiho no lakou i ke koena na ka lakou mau keiki hou.
15 But I shall appear in righteousness before your face: I shall be satisfied when your glory appears.
A owau hoi la, e ike auanei au i kou maka me ka pono; Aia e ala hou au me kou ano, alaila au e maha io ai.
