Psalms 63
1 A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
E KE Akua, o oe no ko'u Akua, e imi koke no au ia oe; Ke makewai nei no hoi ko'u uhane nou, Ke iini nei ko'u kino ia oe i ka aina maloo, Me ka makewai, ma kahi wai ole;
2 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
3 For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
No ka mea, ua oi aku ka pono o kou lokomaikai mamua o ke ola nei, E hoolea aku ko'u mau lehelehe ia oe.
4 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Pela e hoomaikai aku ai au ia oe i ko'u ola nei; I kou inoa, e hapai ai au i ko'u mau lima.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
E maona auanei ko'u uhane me he mea la he ono loa a me ka momona; Me na lehelehe olioli e hoolea aku ai ko'u waha;
6 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
7 Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
8 My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
10 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
Aka, e olioli ke alii ike Akua; E hauoli hoi na mea a pau i hoohiki ma o na la, Aka, e hoopaaia ka waha o ka poe olelo wahahee.
