Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
O OE, e Iehova, ka'u mea e hilinai ai: Aole au e hoohokaia mai.
2 In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!
E hoola mai ia'u, ma kou pono, E hoopakele hoi oe ia'u: E haliu mai i kou pepeiao ia'u a e hoola ia'u.
3 Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my fortress!
E lilo mai oe i pohaku e noho ai no'u, Kahi e holo mau ai au; Ua kauoha ae nei oe e hoola ia'u; No ka mea, o oe no ko'u pohaku me ko'u pakaua.
4 Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
E ko'u Akua, e hoopakele mai oe ia'u i ka lima o ka poe aia, Mai loko aku o ka poho lima o ka mea hewa aloha ole.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust from my youth!
No ka mea, o oe no ko'u mea e manaolana ai, e ka Haku; E Iehova, ka mea au i hilinai ai, mai ko'u wa opiopio.
6 Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
Nau no wau i hookupaa, mai ka opu mai; O oe no ka i lawe ia'u mai loko mai o na naau o ko'u makuwahine: Nou mau aku no hoi ko'u hoolea ana.
7 I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
Me he mea kupanaha la au i ka lehulehu; Aka, o oe ko'u wahi paa e malu ai.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
E piha ko'u waha i ka hoolea nou, A me kou nani a po ka la.
9 Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
Mai kiola ae oe ia'u i ka wa elemakule; Aole hoi e haalele mai ia'u i ka pau ana o ko'u ikaika.
10 For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
No ka mea, ke olelo ku e mai nei ko'u poe enemi ia'u; A ua ohumu pu ka poe hoohalua no kuu uhane,
11 “God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
I mai la, Ua haalele mai ke Akua ia ia: E alualu oukou ia ia, a e hopu ia ia; No ka mea, aohe mea hoola.
12 O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
E ke Akua, mai hoomamao aku ia'u; E ko'u Akua, e wikiwiki mai e kokua ia'u.
13 Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
E hoohilahilaia, a e pau e hoi ka poe ku e mai i kuu uhane; E uhiia me ka hoinoia a me ka hoahewaia ka poe imi i hewa no'u.
14 But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
Aka, e lana mau ko'u naau, A e hoomahuahua'e au i ko'u hoolea ana ia oe.
15 My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
E hoike aku ko'u waha i kou pono, a me kou ola a po ka la: No ka mea, aole au i ike i ko laila helu'na.
16 I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
E hele no wau ma ka ikaika o ka Haku Iehova; E hoolea au i kou pono, o kou wale no.
17 O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
E ke Akua, ua ao mai oe ia'u mai ko'u wa opiopio: A ua hai aku au i kau mau hana kupanaha a hiki i keia wa.
18 And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
Ano hoi i ko'u elemakule ana me ka poohina, E ke Akua, mai haalele mai ia'u; A hoike e aku au i kou ikaika i keia hanauna, A i kou mana hoi, i na mea a pau e hiki mai ana.
19 For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
He kiekie loa kou pono, e ke Akua, Ka mea i hana i na mea nui; E ke Akua, owai la ka mea like me oe?
20 Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
E ka mea i hoike iho nei ia'u i ka pilikia ana he nui wale, E hooikaika hou mai no oe ia'u, A e hoopuka ia'u mailoko o na wahi hohonu o ka honua.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
E hoomahuahua ae oe i ko'u nui ana, A e hooluolu mai ia'u ma kela aoao, ma keia aoao.
22 Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
E hula aku au ia oe me ka violaumi, I kou oiaio hoi, e ko'u Akua; E himeni aku hoi au ia oe me ka lira, E ka mea hoano o ka Iseraela.
23 My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
E hauoli nui ko'u mau lehelehe i ko'u oli ana ia oe; A me ko'u uhane au i hoola mai nei.
24 My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
Eia hoi, e kamailio aku kuu alelo i kou pono a po ka la; No ka mea, ua hoka, ua hoohilahilaia ka poe imi i hewa no'u.
