Psalms 40
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,
U A kali ahonui aku la au ia Iehova, A maliu mai ia me ka hoolohe i ko'u hea ana.
2 And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.
Ua lawe mai oia ia'u mai loko mai o ka lua weliweli, Mai loko mai o ka lepo poho, A ua hooku i ko'u mau kapuwai maluna o ka pohaku, A ua hooku pono oia i kuu hele ana.
3 And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.
Ua haawi mai oia i ka mele hou iloko o kuu waha, I ka hoolea i ko kakou Akua: E ike auanei na mea he nui, a e weliweli hoi, A e hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
4 O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
Pomaikai ke kanaka i hoolilo ia Iehova i mea e hilinai ai nona: Aole hoi i mahalo i ka poe haaheo, Aole hoi i ka poe kapae ma ka wahahee.
5 You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
He nui na mea kupaianaha au i hana'i, e Iehova kuu Akua, A me ou manao ia makou; Aole ia e helu pololei ia'ku ia oe: Ina makemake au e hai heluhelu aku, Ua nui loa ia, aole e pau i ka heluia.
6 Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.
O ka mohai a me ka alana kau i makemake ole ai; O ko'u mau pepeiao kau i hoohakahaka mai ai; O ka mohalkuni a me ka mohailawehala kau i kauoha ole mai ai.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,
Alaila i aku la au, Eia, ke hele mai nei au; Ma ka buke palapala i kakauia'i no'u,
8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”
Ke hauoli nei au i ka hana aku i kou makemake, e ko'u Akua: Oiaio, o kou kanawai hoi eia iloko o ko'u naau.
9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.
Ua hai aku au i ka pono i ke anaina nui: Eia hoi, aole au i hoopaa i kuu mau lehelehe, E Iehova, ua ike no hoi oe.
10 I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.
Aole au i huna i kou pono iloko o ko'u naau; Ua hai aku no hoi au i kou oiaio a me kou ola: Aole au i huna i kou lokomaikai, a me kou oiaio, i ke anaina nui.
11 You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.
Mai aua mai oe i kou aloha ia'u, e Iehova; E hoomalu mau mai kou lokomaikai me kou oiaio ia'u.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.
No ka mea, ua hoopuni mai ia'u na mea ino, aole e pau i ka heluia: Ua lalau mai ko'u mau hewa ia'u, Aole hiki ia'u ke nana iluna: Ua oi aku lakou mamua o na lauoho o kuu poo: Nolaila i haalele ai ko'u naau ia'u.
13 Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.
E oluolu hoi oe, e Iehova, e hoola ia'u: E wiki mai, e Iehova, e kokua mai ia'u.
14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
E hoohilahilaia, a e hoka pu ka poe imi mai i ko'u uhane e hoomake mai ia; E kipakuia'ku i hope ka poe i makemake e poino au.
15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”
E hooneoneoia hoi lakou i uku no ka hilahila o lakou, Ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, Aia la, aia la!
16 All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”
E hauoli aku a e olioli no hoi ia oe, Na mea a pau i imi aku ia oe: A e olelo mau ka poe makemake i kou ola, E hoonaniia'ku o Iehova.
17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
Aka, ua haahaa au a me ka nele; Hoomanao mai no nae ka Haku ia'u: O oe no ko'u kokua a me ko'u Hoola; Mai hookaulua iki oe, e ko'u Akua.
