Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
E kuu uhane, ua i aku oe ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Haku; Aole i hiki aku ko'u maikai ia oe;
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
E hoonuiia'na ka eha o ka poe e hahai i ka mea e; Aole au e mohai aku i ko lakou mohaiinu koko, Aole hoi e hapai i ko lakou inoa i kou mau Iehelehe.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
O Iehova ka io o ko'u hooilina a me ko'u kiaha; Ke hoomau mai nei oe i ko'u pauku.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova, nana ka olelo i haawi mai ia'u, Ua ao mai hoi ia'u ko'u mau puupaa i na po.
8 I have put the LORD before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Ke waiho mau nei no au ia Iehova imua o ko'u alo: Oia ma ko'u lima akau, nolaila au e kulanalana ole ai.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Nolaila ko'u naau o hauoli nei, a e olioli nei ko'u nani, Oiaio, e hoomaha hoi ko'u kino me ka manaolana.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
No ka mea, aole oe e haalele i ko'u uhane i ka malu o ka make, Aole hoi oe e waiho iho i kou mea hoano a ike i ka palaho. (Sheol h7585)
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
E hoike mai no oe ia'u i ke kuamoo e ola'i; Ina no ma kou alo ka nui wale o ka olioli; Ma kou lima akau ka hauoli mau loa.
