Psalms 18
1 [For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, LORD, my strength.
E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
2 The LORD is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
O Iehova ko'u pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me ko'u mea e ola'i; O ko'u Akua, ko'u oolea, a'u e hilinai ai; O ko'u paku, o ko'u hao e ola'i, o ko'u halepukaua kiekie.
3 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
4 The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
Ua puni au i ka ehaeha o ka make; Ua hooweliweli mai ia'u na ale o ka poe aia.
Ua puni au i na kaei o ka malu o ka make; Ua paa au i ko ka make upena. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
I ko u popilikia ana, ua kahea aku au ia Iehova, Ua auwe aku au i ko'u Akua; Ua lohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona luakini, Ua hiki aku kuu ulono imua ona, a i kona mau pepeiao.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua a me ka haalulu; Nauweuwe iho la ua kumu o na mauna, Ua hoonauweia mai ia no kona inaina.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Ua pukoa ae la ka uahi mai loko ae o kona mau puka ihu. Mai loko mai o kona waha ke ahi e ai ana; Ua kukuniia ka lanahu e ia.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Ua holo ia ma ke keruba, ua lele no hoi ia: Oiaio, ua lele oia ma na eheu o ka makani.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
Ua hoolilo oia i ka pouli i wahi mehameha nona: O kona halelowa i hoopuni ia ia, a o na wai pouli a me na a eleele o ka lani.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
No ka olinolino imua ona, ua lele ae la kona mau ao eleele, O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
13 The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
Ua hoohekili mai la o Iehova ma ka lani; Ua hoopuka mai la ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo: O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
14 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
Ua pehi iho la i kana mau pua, e hoopuehu ia lakou; Ua pana iho la i na uwila, a ua auhee lakou ia ia.
15 And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Alaila, ua ikea na kaha o na wai, Ua hoikeia mai na kumu o ka honua, I kau papa ana mai, e Iehova, i ka nou ana hoi o ka hanu o kou mau puka ihu.
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Ua kii mai la oia mai luna mai, ua lawe ae hoi ia'u, Ua unuhi aku la oia ia'u mai loko o na wai nui.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ko'u mau enemi ikaika, A me ka poe inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Ua hoopaa mai lakou ia'u i ko'u la popilikia: Aka, ua lilo mai o Iehova i kokua no'u.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Ua lawe ae la oia ia'u i kahi akea; Ua hoopakele mai no ia ia'u, no kona makemake ana mai ia'u.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
Ua uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; Ua hoopai mai no ia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
Mamua hoi o ko'u alo kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au e pale aku i kana mau kauoha.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
24 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Nolaila, i hoopai mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono. E like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima imua o kona alo.
25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
Me ka mea lokomaikai e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai, Me ke kanaka hoopono e hoike aua oe ia oe iho he pono;
26 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
Me ka mea maemae, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he maemae; Me ka mea hooolea, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho ho oolea.
27 For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
28 For you light my lamp. The LORD my God lights up my darkness.
No ka mea, e kuni no oe i ko'u kukui, E koomalamalama mai no o Iehova o ko'u Akua i ko'u pouli.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Nou no wau i wahi ae ai i ka poe kaua; No ko'u Akua i lehai aku ai au maluna o ka pa.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao: Ua hoaoia ka olelo a Iehova; He paku oia no na mea a pau i paulele aku ia ia.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
32 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
O ke Akua ka i kakoo mai ia'u me ka ikaika; Nana no i hoopololei mai i ko'u hele ana.
33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
Ua hoolilo no oia i kuu mau wawae e like me na wawae dia: Ua hoonoho oia ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Ua ao mai no oia i ko'u mau lima e kaua; I haki ai i ko'u lima ke kikoo keleawe.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i kou paku e ola'i: Ua hookupaa mai ia'u kou lima akau? A o kou ahonui ka i hoomakua mai nei ia'u.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
Ua alualu aku au i kuu mau enemi a loaa lakou; Ua pau e hoi lakou ia'u mamua o ko'u hoi ana mai.
38 I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou. aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku ae iluna; Ua pau lakou i ka hina malalo ae o ko'u mau wawae.
39 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Ua kakoo mai no oe ia'u me ka ikaika i ke kaua; Ua hoohaahaa iho oe malalo iho o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Ua haawi mai no oe ia'u i ka a-i o ko'u mau enemi; I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
Ua kabea aku la lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole no hoi ia i ae mai.
42 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Alaila, ua pakuikui au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la imua o a makani: Ua kiola aku au ia lakou e like me ka lepo ma ke alanui.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me;
Ua hoopakele oe ia'u i ka paio ana o na kanaka; Ua hoolilo oe ia'u i poo no na lahuikanaka e; E malama mai ana no ia'u ka poe kanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
44 as soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
A kui ka lono o'u, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u; E hooloho mai no ia'u na keiki a kanaka e.
45 they are not bound in chains.
E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
O ke Akua ka i haawi mai na'u e hoopai aku: Oia ka i hoolilo i Kanaka malalo iho o'u:
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
Oia ka i hoopakele ia'u i ko'u mau enemi: Nau no wau i hookiekie ae maluna o ka poe i ku o mai ia'u; Nau no wau i hoola i ke kanaka pepehi wale mai.
49 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Nolaila au e hoomaikai aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o ko na aina e: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
Nani no kona hoola ana i kana alii; Ua aloha mau mai no ia i kona mea poui, ia Davida, a me kana mamo.
