Psalms 54

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.

E KE Akua, e hoola mai oe ia'u ma kou inoa; A e hoopono mai ia'u ma kou ikaika.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

E ke Akua, e hoolohe mai i ka'u pule; E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i na olelo a kuu waha:

3 For strangers [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na kanaka e, A ke imi nei i kuu uhane na mea hooluhihewa; Aole lakou i hoonoho i ke Akua i mua o ko lakou alo. (Sila)

4 Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

Eia hoi, o ke Akua ko'u kokua; O ka Haku oia pu me ka poe kokua i ko'u uhane.

5 He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

E uku auanei oia i ka ino maluna o ka poe ku e ia'u; E oki iho oe ia lakou i kou oiaio.

6 I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

E mohai oluolu aku au nou; E hoelea aku au ia oe, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono ia.

7 For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.

No ka mea, ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ka popilikia a pau; A ua nana ae nei ko'u maka i ko'u poe enemi.
