Psalms 28
1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; my Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
I A oe, e Iehova, e kahea aku ai au e kuu pohaku, mai hookuli mai oe ia'u; O like auanei au me ka poe iho ilalo o ka Iua, ke hookuli mai oe ia'u.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.
E hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka'u pule, i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia oe, I ka hapai ana o kuu mau lima i kou wahi hoano.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; who speak peace with their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
Mai alako ae ia'u me ka poe aia, me ka poe hana hewa, Ka poe olelo aloha i ko lakou mau hoalauna, He hewa no nae maloko o ko lakou mau naau.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
E haawi ia lakou e like me ka lakou mau hana; A mamuli o ka hewa o ko lakou hooikaika ana; E haawi ia lakou mamuli o ka hana o ko lakou mau lima; E uku ia lakou no ka lakou hana.
5 Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manao i na hana a Iehova, Aole hoi i ka hana ana o kona mau lima, E wawahi oia ia lakou, aole e kukulu ia lakou iluna.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai no ia i ka leo a ka'u mau pule.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield, in Him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, and with my song will I praise Him.
O Iehova kuu ikaika a me kuu palekaua; Ia ia i hilinai ai kun naau, a ua kokuaia mai au; Nolaila i hauoli nui ai kuu naau, A ma kuu mele e hoolea aku ai au ia ia.
8 The LORD is a strength unto them; and He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
O Iehova ko lakou ikaika; Oia hoi ka ikaika e ola'i kona mea i poniia.
9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; and tend them, and carry them for ever.
E hoola i kou poe kanaka, a e hoomaikai i kou hooilina: E hanai ia lakou, a e kaikai ia lakou a mau loa.
