< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
E IEHOVA, ua mahuahua ae nei ko'u poe enemi; Ua nui no hoi ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
2 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Lehulehu na mea i olelo mai no ko'u uhane, Aole ona kokua iloko o ke Akua. (Sila)
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Aka, o oe, e Iehova, ka paku no'u; O ko'u nani, ka mea nana kuu poo e hapai.
4 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
Ua kahea aku wau ia Iehova me ka'u leo; Ua hoolohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona mauna hoano. (Sila)
5 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
Ua moe iho la au ilalo a hiamoe; Ua ala ae la hoi, no ko Iehova malama ana mai ia'u.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Aole au e makau aku i na umi tausani o kanaka, O ka poe e ku e mai ia'u a puni.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
E ku mai oe, e Iehova, e hoola mai ia'u, e kuu Akua; Ua pepehi oe i ko'u poe enemi a pau ma ke a; Ua uhai oe i na niho o ka poe aia.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
No Iehova ke ola; O kou hoomaikai ana maluna iho o kou poe ohua. (Sila)
