Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
O Iehova ka ikaika o kuu ola nei; Ia wai la au e weliweli aku ai?
2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
I ka lele ana mai o ka poe hewa ia'u, O kuu mau enemi ka poe ku e mai ia'u, e ai i kuu io, Kuia iho la lakou a hina ilalo.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.
Ina e hoomoana ku e mai ka poe kaua ia'u, aole e makau ko'u naau; Ina e eu ku e mai ke kaua ia'u, ma keia no wau e hilinai ai.
4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Hookahi no mea a'u i noi aku ai ia Iehova, oia ka'u e imi aku ai; E noho au maloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana. E nana aku i ka nani o Iehova, a e ninaninau iloko o kona luakini.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
No ka mea, i ka wa popilikia e huna mai oia ia'u i kona malu: Ma kahi mehameha o kona halelewa e huna mai ai oia ia'u; E hoonoho no hoi oia ia'u maluna o ka pohaku.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Ano e hookiekieia'e kuu poo maluna o kuu mau enemi i hoopuni mai ia'u; Nolaila e kaumaha aku ai au iloko o kona halelewa i na mohai olioli: E oli aku au, oiaio, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova.
7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
E hoolohe mai, e Iehova, i kuu hea ana'ku me kuu leo; E aloha mai hoi oe ia'u, e ae mai i ka'u.
8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
I kau olelo ana, E imi mai oukou i kuu alo; I aku la kuu naau ia oe, O kou alo, e Iehova, ka'u e imi ai
9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Mai huna i kou maka ia'u; Mai hoohemo i kau kauwa nei me ka huhu. Ua kokua mai no hoi oe ia'u; Mai hookuu wale ia'u, Mai haalele hoi oe ia'u, e kuu Akua e ola'i.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Aia haalele ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine ia'u, Alaila e ohi mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
E ao mai ia'u, e Iehova, i kou alanui; A e alakai ia'u ma ke ala maniania no kuu poe enemi.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Mai haawi oe ia'u i ka makemake o kuu poe enemi, No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na mea hoike wahahee, A me ka poe e ha ana'e i ka huhu hewa.
13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Ina i manao ole au e ike i ka maikai o Iehova, i ka aina o ka poe ola, Ina ua maule e au.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
E manaolana ia Iehova; i nui ka ikaika, A e hooikaika mai oia i kou naau; E hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
