Psalms 59
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
E HOOPAKELE ia'u i ko'u mau enemi, e ko'u Akua; E hookiekie oe ia'u i ka poe ku e mai iluna ia'u.
2 Deliver me from evildoers. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
E hoopakele ia'u i ka poe hana hewa; A e hoola mai ia'u i na kanaka koko.
3 For, look, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
No ka mea, aia hoi, ke hoohalua nei lakou no ko'u uhane: Ua akoakoa ku e mai ka poe ikaika; Aole no ko'u hewa, aole hoi no ko'u lawehala ana, e Iehova.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, look, and help me.
Me ko'u hala ole, holo lakou a hoomakaukau; E ala ae e hoohalawai me au, a e nana mai.
5 You, LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
O oe, e Iehova ke Akua Sabaota, ke Akua o Iseraela, E ala, e hoopai i na lahuikanaka a pau: Mai hoomanawanui mai i na mea lawehala nui. (Sila)
6 They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
Ua hoi mai lakou i ke ahiahi: Ua uwo lakou me he ilio la; Ke kaapuni nei lakou i ke kulanakauhale.
7 Look, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
Aia hoi, ua hoolei mai me ko lakou waha: He mau pahikaua maloko o ko lakou mau leheleho: No ka mea, owai ka mea hoolohe?
8 But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
Aka, e Iehova, o akaaka mai no oe ia lakou; E henehene mai no hoi oe i na lahuikanaka a pau.
9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
No kona ikaika, e malama aku au ia oe; No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u wahi e malu ai.
10 My God of mercy will come to meet me. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
E hele no hoi imua o'u ko'u Akua aloha mai; E haawi mai ke Akua ia'u e nana aku i ko'u poe enemi.
11 Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, LORD our shield.
Mai luku mai oe ia lakou, o poina i ko'u poe Kanaka: E hoauwana oe ia lakou me kou mana; E hoohaahaa oe ia lakou, e ka Haku, ko makou palekaua.
12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
No ka hewa o ko lakou waha, A me na olelo a ko lakou mau lehelehe, E hooheiia lakou iloko o ko lakou hookiekie ana; A no ke kuamuamu a me ka wahahee a lakou e pane nei.
13 Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the farthest parts of the earth. (Selah)
E hoopau oe me kon huhu, e hoopau, i ole lakou; I ike lakou o ke Akua ke alii iloko o Iakoba a hiki i na welau o ka honua,
14 At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
A i ke ahiahi o hoi mai ai lakou; A e uwo lakou me he ilio la, A e kaapuni i ke kulanakauhale.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
E auwana lakou i o ia nei, i ai, A e uwo lakou ke maona ole.
16 But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
Aka, e oli aku au i kou mana; Oia hoi, e himeni leo nui aku au i kou aloha i ke kakahiaka; No ka mea, he wahi malu ae nei oe no'u, He puuhonua i ko'u la i popilikia'i.
17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
E ko'u Ikaika, ia oe no wau e mele aku ai: No ka mea, o oe no ko'u wahi e malu ai, e ko'u Akua aloha mai.
