Psalms 140
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
E HOOPAKELE mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i ke kanaka hewa; E malama mai hoi ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe:
2 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. (Selah)
Hookala no lakou i ko lakou alelo me he nahesa la; A aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make o ka moonihoawa. (Sila)
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
E malama mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i na lima o ka poe hewa. E kiai mai ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe; No ka mea, manao mai oia e hoohiolo i kuu mau kapuwai.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Na ka poe hookiekie i hana i ka mea hei a me na kaula no'u; A ua uhola lakou i ka upena ma kapa alanui; Ua kau lakou i pahele no'u. (Sila)
6 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
Olelo aku la au ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Akua; E hoolohe mai oe, e Iehova, i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
E Iehova, ka Haku ikaika o ko'u ola, Ua uhi mai no oe i ko'u poo i ka la o ke kaua.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Mai haawi mai oe, e Iehova, i na mea a ka poe hewa i makemake ai; Mai kokua mai oe mamuli o kona manao; Ua hookiekie no lakou. (Sila)
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
E haule mai na lanahu maluna o lakou; E kiolaia lakou iloko o ke ahi, Iloko hoi o na lua hohonu, I olo ai lakou e ku hou mai iluna.
11 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
Oiaio e mililani aku no ka poe pono i kou inoa; E noho no hoi ka poe hoopololei ma kou alo.
