Psalms 43

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty 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 For you, O God, are my strength: therefore have you cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?

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 Send forth your light and your truth: they have led me, and brought me to your holy mountain, and to your tabernacles.

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 And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to you on the harp, 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 Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [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.
