Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from 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 judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
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 have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
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 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
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 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
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 out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed 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 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who 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 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow 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 impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded 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 concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
Ua puni lakou i ko lakou momona: Ua olelo haaheo lakou me ko lakou waha.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
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 have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
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 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
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 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
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 as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will 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.
