Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
E HOOLOHE mai i ka pono, e Iehova; E manao mai oe i ka'u ulono ana'ku; E maliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u pule, Mai loko ae o na lehelehe hookamani ole.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Mai kou alo pono mai e puka mai ai ka olelo no'u; E nana mai kou mau maka i na mea ewaewa ole.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Ua hoao mai nei oe i ko'u naau; Ua ike mai nei oe ia'u i ka po; Ua hoao mai nei oe ia'u, aohe e loaa ia oe: Ua paa kuu manao aole e hoohala kuu waha.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
I na hana a kanaka, no ka olelo pono mai a kou mau lehelehe, Ua malama au ia'u iho i na aoao o ka mea e make ai.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
E hookupono mai oe i ko'u hele ana ma kou mau alanui, I ole ai ko'u mou kapuwai e pahee.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
Ua kahea aku au ia oe, no ka mea, e lohe mai no oe ia'u, e ke Akua; E haliu mai ia'u kou pepeiao, e lono mai i ka'u olelo.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
E hoike mai oe i kou lokomaikai kupaianaha, E ka mea nana ka poe hilinai e hoopakele me kou lima akau i ka poe i ku e mai.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
E malama mai oe ia'u e like me ke kii onohi o ka maka, E huna oe ia'u malalo ae o ka malu o kou mau eheu,
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
Mai ke alo mai o ka poe hewa i hooluhi mai ai ia'u, O ko'u poe enemi e make ai i hoopuni mai ia'u.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Ua puni lakou i ko lakou momona: Ua olelo haaheo lakou me ko lakou waha.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Ua hoopuni iho nei lakou ia makou i ko makou hele ana, Ua haka ko lakou maka me ke kulou ana ma ka lepo;
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
Me he liona pololi la e kuko ana i kana pio. Me he liona opiopio la, e moemoe malu ana ma na wahi anoano.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
E ku ae, e Iehova, e hoolapuwale ia ia, e kiola oe ia ia ilalo: E hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka mea ino, i kau pahikaua;
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
I na kanaka, i ka lima on, e Iehova, I ka poe ma keia ao, i loaa ko lakou waiwai i keia ola ana, Ua hoopihaia mai e oe ko lakou opu me kou waiwai i hunaia: Ua maona ko lakou mau kamalii, A waiho no lakou i ke koena na ka lakou mau keiki hou.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
A owau hoi la, e ike auanei au i kou maka me ka pono; Aia e ala hou au me kou ano, alaila au e maha io ai.
