Psalms 18
1 Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
2 The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
O Iehova ko'u pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me ko'u mea e ola'i; O ko'u Akua, ko'u oolea, a'u e hilinai ai; O ko'u paku, o ko'u hao e ola'i, o ko'u halepukaua kiekie.
3 Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
4 The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
Ua puni au i ka ehaeha o ka make; Ua hooweliweli mai ia'u na ale o ka poe aia.
Ua puni au i na kaei o ka malu o ka make; Ua paa au i ko ka make upena. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
I ko u popilikia ana, ua kahea aku au ia Iehova, Ua auwe aku au i ko'u Akua; Ua lohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona luakini, Ua hiki aku kuu ulono imua ona, a i kona mau pepeiao.
7 The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua a me ka haalulu; Nauweuwe iho la ua kumu o na mauna, Ua hoonauweia mai ia no kona inaina.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
Ua pukoa ae la ka uahi mai loko ae o kona mau puka ihu. Mai loko mai o kona waha ke ahi e ai ana; Ua kukuniia ka lanahu e ia.
9 He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
10 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
Ua holo ia ma ke keruba, ua lele no hoi ia: Oiaio, ua lele oia ma na eheu o ka makani.
11 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
Ua hoolilo oia i ka pouli i wahi mehameha nona: O kona halelowa i hoopuni ia ia, a o na wai pouli a me na a eleele o ka lani.
12 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
No ka olinolino imua ona, ua lele ae la kona mau ao eleele, O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
13 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
Ua hoohekili mai la o Iehova ma ka lani; Ua hoopuka mai la ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo: O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
14 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
Ua pehi iho la i kana mau pua, e hoopuehu ia lakou; Ua pana iho la i na uwila, a ua auhee lakou ia ia.
15 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
Alaila, ua ikea na kaha o na wai, Ua hoikeia mai na kumu o ka honua, I kau papa ana mai, e Iehova, i ka nou ana hoi o ka hanu o kou mau puka ihu.
16 He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
Ua kii mai la oia mai luna mai, ua lawe ae hoi ia'u, Ua unuhi aku la oia ia'u mai loko o na wai nui.
17 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ko'u mau enemi ikaika, A me ka poe inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
18 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
Ua hoopaa mai lakou ia'u i ko'u la popilikia: Aka, ua lilo mai o Iehova i kokua no'u.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
Ua lawe ae la oia ia'u i kahi akea; Ua hoopakele mai no ia ia'u, no kona makemake ana mai ia'u.
20 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
Ua uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; Ua hoopai mai no ia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
21 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
22 For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
Mamua hoi o ko'u alo kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au e pale aku i kana mau kauoha.
23 And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
24 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
Nolaila, i hoopai mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono. E like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima imua o kona alo.
25 With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
Me ka mea lokomaikai e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai, Me ke kanaka hoopono e hoike aua oe ia oe iho he pono;
26 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
Me ka mea maemae, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he maemae; Me ka mea hooolea, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho ho oolea.
27 For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
28 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
No ka mea, e kuni no oe i ko'u kukui, E koomalamalama mai no o Iehova o ko'u Akua i ko'u pouli.
29 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
Nou no wau i wahi ae ai i ka poe kaua; No ko'u Akua i lehai aku ai au maluna o ka pa.
30 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao: Ua hoaoia ka olelo a Iehova; He paku oia no na mea a pau i paulele aku ia ia.
31 For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
32 God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
O ke Akua ka i kakoo mai ia'u me ka ikaika; Nana no i hoopololei mai i ko'u hele ana.
33 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
Ua hoolilo no oia i kuu mau wawae e like me na wawae dia: Ua hoonoho oia ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
Ua ao mai no oia i ko'u mau lima e kaua; I haki ai i ko'u lima ke kikoo keleawe.
35 And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i kou paku e ola'i: Ua hookupaa mai ia'u kou lima akau? A o kou ahonui ka i hoomakua mai nei ia'u.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
37 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
Ua alualu aku au i kuu mau enemi a loaa lakou; Ua pau e hoi lakou ia'u mamua o ko'u hoi ana mai.
38 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou. aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku ae iluna; Ua pau lakou i ka hina malalo ae o ko'u mau wawae.
39 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
Ua kakoo mai no oe ia'u me ka ikaika i ke kaua; Ua hoohaahaa iho oe malalo iho o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
40 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
Ua haawi mai no oe ia'u i ka a-i o ko'u mau enemi; I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
Ua kabea aku la lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole no hoi ia i ae mai.
42 And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
Alaila, ua pakuikui au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la imua o a makani: Ua kiola aku au ia lakou e like me ka lepo ma ke alanui.
43 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
Ua hoopakele oe ia'u i ka paio ana o na kanaka; Ua hoolilo oe ia'u i poo no na lahuikanaka e; E malama mai ana no ia'u ka poe kanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
44 A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
A kui ka lono o'u, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u; E hooloho mai no ia'u na keiki a kanaka e.
45 The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
46 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
47 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
O ke Akua ka i haawi mai na'u e hoopai aku: Oia ka i hoolilo i Kanaka malalo iho o'u:
48 And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
Oia ka i hoopakele ia'u i ko'u mau enemi: Nau no wau i hookiekie ae maluna o ka poe i ku o mai ia'u; Nau no wau i hoola i ke kanaka pepehi wale mai.
49 Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
Nolaila au e hoomaikai aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o ko na aina e: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa.
50 Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
Nani no kona hoola ana i kana alii; Ua aloha mau mai no ia i kona mea poui, ia Davida, a me kana mamo.
