Psalms 20

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

E HOOLOHE mai o Iehova ia oe i ka la popilikia; I ola oe i ka inoa o ke Akua no Iakoba.

2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

Mai kona keenakapu mai e hoouna mai ai oia i kou mea nana e alu; Mai Ziona mai e kokua mai ai oia ia oe.

3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

E hoomanao mai hoi i kau mau mohai a pau; A e hoopono mai hoi i kau mohai kuni. (Sila)

4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

E haawi mai hoi e like me kou naau iho, E hooko mai hoi i kou manao a pau.

5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

I kou ola e hauoli ai makou, A i ka inoa o ko kakou Akua e kau ai kakou i ka hae: E ae mai hoi o Iehova i kau pule a pau.

6 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

Ano ua ike au, ua hoola o Iehova i kona mea i poniia; Ma kona lani hoano no ia e hoolohe mai ai ia ia, Me ka mana o kona lima akau e ola'i.

7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

Ma na kaakaua kekahi poe, ma na lio kekahi i manao ai; Aka, e hoomanao kakou i ka inoa o Iehova o ko kakou Akua.

8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

Ua emi lakou, ua haule ilalo; Aka, ua ala mai nei makou a ku pono iluna.

9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!

E hoola mai, e Iehova; E hoolohe mai ke alii ia makou i ko makou kahea ana.
