Psalms 64

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the 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 conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

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 sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

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 innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

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 plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

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 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

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 All humankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

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 shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.

E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.
