< Psalms 52 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.
NO ke aha la e hoonui ai oe ma ka hewa, e ke kanaka ikaika? E mau loa ana no ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Makemake no oe i ka ino, aole i ka maikai; A i ka hoopunipuni ana hoi, aole i ka olelo i ka pono. (Sila)
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
E hoohiolo mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe a mau loa, E kiola aku oia ia oe, a kaili aku mai loko aku o kou wahi i noho ai, A e uhuki ae hoi oia ia oe mailoko ae o ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sila)
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
7 "Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."
Aia hoi, oia ke kanaka i lawe ole i ke Akua i ikaika nona; Aka, ua hilinai i ka nui o kona waiwai iho, A ua hooikaika ia ia iho iloko o kona hewa.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
Aka, he mea like au me ka laauoliva uliuli iloko a ka hale o ke Akua; E hilinai mau aku wau i ke aloha o ke Akua a mau loa aku.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
E hoolea mau loa aku au ia oe, No ka mea, nau no ia i hana; E hilinai hoi au i kou inoa; No ka mea, he pono ia imua o kou poe haipule.
