Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be ashamed.
O OE, e Iehova, ka'u mea e hilinai ai: Aole au e hoohokaia mai.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: bow down thine ear unto 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 to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; 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 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
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 GOD: [thou art] 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 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be 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 as a wonder unto 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 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honour all the day.
E piha ko'u waha i ka hoolea nou, A me kou nani a po ka la.
9 Cast me not off in the time of 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 mine enemies speak concerning me; and they that watch for my soul take counsel 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 Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
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: O my God, make haste to help me.
E ke Akua, mai hoomamao aku ia'u; E ko'u Akua, e wikiwiki mai e kokua ia'u.
13 Let them be ashamed [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that 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, and will praise thee yet 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 tell of thy righteousness, [and] of thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
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 come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even 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 hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
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 Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation, thy might to every one that is 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 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; thou who hast done great things, 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, which hast shewed us many and sore troubles, shalt quicken us again, and shalt bring us up again 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 Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me.
E hoomahuahua ae oe i ko'u nui ana, A e hooluolu mai ia'u ma kela aoao, ma keia aoao.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou 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 greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
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 talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are ashamed, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
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.
