Psalms 54

1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

E KE Akua, e hoola mai oe ia'u ma kou inoa; A e hoopono mai ia'u ma kou ikaika.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

E ke Akua, e hoolohe mai i ka'u pule; E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i na olelo a kuu waha:

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na kanaka e, A ke imi nei i kuu uhane na mea hooluhihewa; Aole lakou i hoonoho i ke Akua i mua o ko lakou alo. (Sila)

4 Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

Eia hoi, o ke Akua ko'u kokua; O ka Haku oia pu me ka poe kokua i ko'u uhane.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

E uku auanei oia i ka ino maluna o ka poe ku e ia'u; E oki iho oe ia lakou i kou oiaio.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

E mohai oluolu aku au nou; E hoelea aku au ia oe, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono ia.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

No ka mea, ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ka popilikia a pau; A ua nana ae nei ko'u maka i ko'u poe enemi.
