Psalms 57
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over.
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 to God most high; to God that performs all things for me.
E kahea aku au i ke Akua kiekie loa, I ke Akua nana i hana mai no'u.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (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: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, 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 you exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your 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 dig a pit before me, into the middle whereof they are fallen 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 fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Ua paa ko'u naau, e ke Akua, ua paa ko'u naau, E oli aku au, a e hoolea hoi.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
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 praise you, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to you 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 your mercy is great to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
No ka mea, he nui kou aloha a hala i na lani, A me kou oiaio a hiki i na ao.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your 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.
