Psalms 27

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold 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 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

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 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then 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 have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in 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 concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.

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 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto 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, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer 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 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I 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 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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 though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take 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 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.

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 unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

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 If I had not believed to look upon the goodness 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 Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, 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.
