Psalms 27

1 “A psalm of David.” The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

O Iehova ka ikaika o kuu ola nei; Ia wai la au e weliweli aku ai?

2 When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.

I ka lele ana mai o ka poe hewa ia'u, O kuu mau enemi ka poe ku e mai ia'u, e ai i kuu io, Kuia iho la lakou a hina ilalo.

3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.

Ina e hoomoana ku e mai ka poe kaua ia'u, aole e makau ko'u naau; Ina e eu ku e mai ke kaua ia'u, ma keia no wau e hilinai ai.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon his temple.

Hookahi no mea a'u i noi aku ai ia Iehova, oia ka'u e imi aku ai; E noho au maloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana. E nana aku i ka nani o Iehova, a e ninaninau iloko o kona luakini.

5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me upon a rock.

No ka mea, i ka wa popilikia e huna mai oia ia'u i kona malu: Ma kahi mehameha o kona halelewa e huna mai ai oia ia'u; E hoonoho no hoi oia ia'u maluna o ka pohaku.

6 Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise to the LORD.

Ano e hookiekieia'e kuu poo maluna o kuu mau enemi i hoopuni mai ia'u; Nolaila e kaumaha aku ai au iloko o kona halelewa i na mohai olioli: E oli aku au, oiaio, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova.

7 Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

E hoolohe mai, e Iehova, i kuu hea ana'ku me kuu leo; E aloha mai hoi oe ia'u, e ae mai i ka'u.

8 When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.

I kau olelo ana, E imi mai oukou i kuu alo; I aku la kuu naau ia oe, O kou alo, e Iehova, ka'u e imi ai

9 O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

Mai huna i kou maka ia'u; Mai hoohemo i kau kauwa nei me ka huhu. Ua kokua mai no hoi oe ia'u; Mai hookuu wale ia'u, Mai haalele hoi oe ia'u, e kuu Akua e ola'i.

10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

Aia haalele ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine ia'u, Alaila e ohi mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

E ao mai ia'u, e Iehova, i kou alanui; A e alakai ia'u ma ke ala maniania no kuu poe enemi.

12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.

Mai haawi oe ia'u i ka makemake o kuu poe enemi, No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na mea hoike wahahee, A me ka poe e ha ana'e i ka huhu hewa.

13 I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!

Ina i manao ole au e ike i ka maikai o Iehova, i ka aina o ka poe ola, Ina ua maule e au.

14 Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!

E manaolana ia Iehova; i nui ka ikaika, A e hooikaika mai oia i kou naau; E hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
