Psalms 57
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua, e aloha mai oe ia'u: No ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei ko'u uhane ia oe: Oiaio ma ka malu o kou mau eheu e kanaho ai au, A hala loa aku keia mau mea e poino ai.
2 I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
E kahea aku au i ke Akua kiekie loa, I ke Akua nana i hana mai no'u.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; (Selah) God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
E hoouna mai no oia mai ka laui mai, A e hoopakele mai ia'u i ka nuku ana o na mea manao e ale mai ia'u. (Sila) E hoouna no ke Akua i kona aloha a me kona oiaio.
4 My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Eia ko'u uhane iwaena o na liona; Ke moe nei au me ka poe i hoaia, Na keiki a kanaka o ko lakou mau niho he mau ihe me na pua; A he pahikaua oi ko lakou alelo.
5 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani: A o kou nani hoi maluna o ka honua a pau.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah)
Ua hoomakaukau lakou i ka upena no ko'u mau kapuwai; Ua kulou iho ko'u uhane: Ua eli lakou i ka lua mamua o'u, A iwaena konu ona i haule ai lakou. (Sila)
7 My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
Ua paa ko'u naau, e ke Akua, ua paa ko'u naau, E oli aku au, a e hoolea hoi.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
E ala'e, e kuu nani, e ala, e ka violaumi a me ke kinora; Owau nei hoi kekahi e ala'e i ka wanaao.
9 I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka, e ka Haku; E himeni aku au ia oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
10 For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
No ka mea, he nui kou aloha a hala i na lani, A me kou oiaio a hiki i na ao.
11 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
E hapaiia'ku oe, e ke Akua, maluna o na lani; A me kou nani maluna o ka honua a pau.
