Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
E IEHOVA e ko'u Akua, ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe: E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka poe a pau nana au i hoomaau mai; E hoola mai hoi oe ia'u;
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O haehae mai oia i ko'u uhane me he liona la, A mokumoku au, aohe mea e ola'i.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
E Iehova e ko'u Akua, iua i hana au i keia; Ina he hewa iloko o ko'u mau lima;
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
Ina i hoihoi aku au i ka hewa i ko'u hoaaloha; A i lawe wale i ka ka mea i huhu hala ole mai ia'u;
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
E pono e alualu mai ka enemi i ko'u uhane, a e hopu mai ia'u; A e hehi mai hoi ia i ko'u ola ilalo i ka honua, A e waiho iho hoi i ko'u uani malalo o ka lepo. (Sila)
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
E ku oe iluna, e Iehova, i kou huhu, E hookiekie ae ia oe iho no ka hookano o ko'u poe enemi: E ala'e oe no'u i ka hookolokolo au i olelo mai ai.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
E hookolokolo o Iehova i na kanaka; E hoopono mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, E like me ko'u pono, a me ko'u oiaio iloko o'u.
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
Ke pule nei au e oki ka hana hewa o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa oe i ka poe pono; No ka mea, na ke Akua pono i hoao na naau a me na puupaa.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
Ua malama mai ke Akua i ka poe pono, Ua huhu mai ke Akua i ka hewa i na la a pau.
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
Ina i huli ole ia, e hookala no ia i kana pahikaua; Ua lena oia i kana kakaka, ua hooponopono no ia.
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
Ua hoomakaukau no hoi ia i na mea e make ai nona; Ke pana iho la oia i na pua ahi.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Aia hoi, ua nahunahu ia i ka hewa, Ua hookauhua no ia i ka ino, A ua hanau mai no hoi ia i ka wahahee.
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Ua eli iho la oia i ka lua a poopoo, Ua haule iho la no ia ilalo o ka auwaha ana i hana'i.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
E huli hou iho kana hana hewa ana maluna ona iho, A e haule iho hoi kona kolohe ana maluna o kona poo iho.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
