< Psalms 64 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,
E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u leo, i ka'u kamailio ana'ku: E hoomalu i kuu ola nei, i ka makau ana i ka enemi.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
E huna mai ia'u mai ka ohumu malu ana o ka poe hewa; Mai ka hoohaunaele ana hoi o ka poe lawehala:
3 Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.
Ka poe i hookala i ko lakou alelo me he pahikaua la; A i lena no hoi ko lakou mau pua, he mau olelo awahia;
4 To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.
I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.
5 They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”
Hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka mea ino; Kukakuka lakou e waiho malu i na pahele; Olelo no hoi lakou, Owai la na mea e ike ia lakou?
6 They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.
Imi no hoi lakou i na mea hewa; Huli lakou me ka imi ikaika: O ka manao a me ka naau o lakou he hohonu ia.
7 And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,
Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.
8 And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.
Pela e hoohaule iho lakou i ko lakou alelo maluna o lakou iho; E holo aku no hoi ka poe a pau i ike ia lakou.
9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.
E pau no hoi na kanaka i ka makau, A e hai aku i ka hana a ke Akua; No ka mea, e noonoo naauao lakou i kana hana ana.
10 The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.
