Psalms 142

1 An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer. I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

KAHEA aku la au ia Iehova, i ko'u leo, Me ko'u leo hoi i nonoi aku ai au ia Iehova.

2 I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

Ninini aku la au i ko'u kaniuhu imua ona, A hoike aku la no hoi i ko'u pilikia ma kona alo.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.

I ka maule ana o ko'u uhane iloko o'u, Alaila ike pono no oe i ko'u alanui. Ma ke ala a'u i hele aku ai, hana lakou i hei no'u.

4 Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

Nana aku la au ma ka lima akau, a ike hoi, Aohe mea i ike mai ia'u; Ua pau na wahi e pakele ai; Aohe mea i manao mai i ko'u uhane.

5 I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

Kahea aku la au ia oe, e Iehova, I aku la, O oe no ko'u paku, O kuu puu waiwai hoi ma ka aina o ka poe ola.

6 Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

E hoolohe mai oe i ko'u uwe ana, no ka mea, ua hoopilikia loa ia au: E hoopakele mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai, No ka mea, na oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.

E hoopuka aku oe i ko'u uhane iwaho o ka hale paahao, I hoomililani aku au i kou inoa; E kaapuni mai ka poe pono ia'u, No ka mea, e hana maikai mai oe ia'u.
