Psalms 27
1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
O Iehova ka ikaika o kuu ola nei; Ia wai la au e weliweli aku ai?
2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
I ka lele ana mai o ka poe hewa ia'u, O kuu mau enemi ka poe ku e mai ia'u, e ai i kuu io, Kuia iho la lakou a hina ilalo.
3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
Ina e hoomoana ku e mai ka poe kaua ia'u, aole e makau ko'u naau; Ina e eu ku e mai ke kaua ia'u, ma keia no wau e hilinai ai.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
Hookahi no mea a'u i noi aku ai ia Iehova, oia ka'u e imi aku ai; E noho au maloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana. E nana aku i ka nani o Iehova, a e ninaninau iloko o kona luakini.
5 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
No ka mea, i ka wa popilikia e huna mai oia ia'u i kona malu: Ma kahi mehameha o kona halelewa e huna mai ai oia ia'u; E hoonoho no hoi oia ia'u maluna o ka pohaku.
6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
Ano e hookiekieia'e kuu poo maluna o kuu mau enemi i hoopuni mai ia'u; Nolaila e kaumaha aku ai au iloko o kona halelewa i na mohai olioli: E oli aku au, oiaio, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
E hoolohe mai, e Iehova, i kuu hea ana'ku me kuu leo; E aloha mai hoi oe ia'u, e ae mai i ka'u.
8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
I kau olelo ana, E imi mai oukou i kuu alo; I aku la kuu naau ia oe, O kou alo, e Iehova, ka'u e imi ai
9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
Mai huna i kou maka ia'u; Mai hoohemo i kau kauwa nei me ka huhu. Ua kokua mai no hoi oe ia'u; Mai hookuu wale ia'u, Mai haalele hoi oe ia'u, e kuu Akua e ola'i.
10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
Aia haalele ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine ia'u, Alaila e ohi mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u.
11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
E ao mai ia'u, e Iehova, i kou alanui; A e alakai ia'u ma ke ala maniania no kuu poe enemi.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
Mai haawi oe ia'u i ka makemake o kuu poe enemi, No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na mea hoike wahahee, A me ka poe e ha ana'e i ka huhu hewa.
13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
Ina i manao ole au e ike i ka maikai o Iehova, i ka aina o ka poe ola, Ina ua maule e au.
14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
E manaolana ia Iehova; i nui ka ikaika, A e hooikaika mai oia i kou naau; E hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
