< Psalms 141 >

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.
E IEHOVA, ke kahea aku nei au ia oe, E wikiwiki mai oe ia'u, E hooloho hoi i ka leo o ko'u kahea ana aku ia oe.
2 My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.
E hooliloia ka'u pule i mohai ala imua ou; A o ka hapai ana hoi o ko'u mau lima i mohai ahiahi.
3 Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.
E hoonoho mai oe, e Iehova, i mea kiai ma kuu waha, A e malama mai hoi oe i ke pani o ko'u mau lehelehe.
4 Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.
Mai hoohuli ae oe i ko'u naau i kekahi mea hewa, E hana i ka hana o ka poe lawelawe, Me ka poe hana kolohe; Aole hoi au e ai i ko lakou mea ono.
5 The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.
Na ka poe pono e hahau mai ia'u, he aloha ia: E ao mai oia ia'u he mea hamo maikai ia, A olo ia e wahi ai i kuu poo; No ka mea, e mau ana no ka'u pule no lakou, iloko o ko lakou pilikia.
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
Ua haule ko lakou lunakanawai ma na wahi pohaku, Ua lohe mai nae lakou i ka'u pule, no ka mea, he oluolu ia.
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
E like me ka mea kohi a hoauauwaha i ka honua, Pela i hooheleleiia'i ko makou iwi ma ke kae o ka lua kupapau. (Sheol h7585)
8 But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.
Aia no ia oe ko'u mau maka, o Iehova ka Haku, Ia oe no wau e hilinai aku ai; Mai waiho pu mai oe i ko'u uhane me ko ka poe nele.
9 Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
E malama mai oe ia'u i ka hei a lakou i kaukau ai no'u, A me ka upena o ka poe hana hewa.
10 The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
E haule ka poe hewa iloko o ko lakou hei iho, A e pakele wale aku no wau.
