Psalms 63
1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
E KE Akua, o oe no ko'u Akua, e imi koke no au ia oe; Ke makewai nei no hoi ko'u uhane nou, Ke iini nei ko'u kino ia oe i ka aina maloo, Me ka makewai, ma kahi wai ole;
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
No ka mea, ua oi aku ka pono o kou lokomaikai mamua o ke ola nei, E hoolea aku ko'u mau lehelehe ia oe.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Pela e hoomaikai aku ai au ia oe i ko'u ola nei; I kou inoa, e hapai ai au i ko'u mau lima.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
E maona auanei ko'u uhane me he mea la he ono loa a me ka momona; Me na lehelehe olioli e hoolea aku ai ko'u waha;
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
Aka, e olioli ke alii ike Akua; E hauoli hoi na mea a pau i hoohiki ma o na la, Aka, e hoopaaia ka waha o ka poe olelo wahahee.
