Psalms 142

1 I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD did I make my supplication.

KAHEA aku la au ia Iehova, i ko'u leo, Me ko'u leo hoi i nonoi aku ai au ia Iehova.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.

Ninini aku la au i ko'u kaniuhu imua ona, A hoike aku la no hoi i ko'u pilikia ma kona alo.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.

I ka maule ana o ko'u uhane iloko o'u, Alaila ike pono no oe i ko'u alanui. Ma ke ala a'u i hele aku ai, hana lakou i hei no'u.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

Nana aku la au ma ka lima akau, a ike hoi, Aohe mea i ike mai ia'u; Ua pau na wahi e pakele ai; Aohe mea i manao mai i ko'u uhane.

5 I cried to you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Kahea aku la au ia oe, e Iehova, I aku la, O oe no ko'u paku, O kuu puu waiwai hoi ma ka aina o ka poe ola.

6 Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

E hoolohe mai oe i ko'u uwe ana, no ka mea, ua hoopilikia loa ia au: E hoopakele mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai, No ka mea, na oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.

E hoopuka aku oe i ko'u uhane iwaho o ka hale paahao, I hoomililani aku au i kou inoa; E kaapuni mai ka poe pono ia'u, No ka mea, e hana maikai mai oe ia'u.
