Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

E KE Akua, e hoola mai oe ia'u ma kou inoa; A e hoopono mai ia'u ma kou ikaika.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

E ke Akua, e hoolohe mai i ka'u pule; E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i na olelo a kuu waha:

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na kanaka e, A ke imi nei i kuu uhane na mea hooluhihewa; Aole lakou i hoonoho i ke Akua i mua o ko lakou alo. (Sila)

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

Eia hoi, o ke Akua ko'u kokua; O ka Haku oia pu me ka poe kokua i ko'u uhane.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

E uku auanei oia i ka ino maluna o ka poe ku e ia'u; E oki iho oe ia lakou i kou oiaio.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

E mohai oluolu aku au nou; E hoelea aku au ia oe, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono ia.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

No ka mea, ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ka popilikia a pau; A ua nana ae nei ko'u maka i ko'u poe enemi.
