Psalms 119
1 (Yahweh is pleased with/Happy are) those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong, those who always obey the laws of Yahweh.
POMAIKAI ka poe i pono ka noho ana, A hele hoi ma ke kanawai o Iehova.
2 Yahweh is pleased with those who (obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do), those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them [to do that].
Pomaikai ka poe malama i kana mau kauoha, E imi aku no lakou ia ia me ka naau a pau.
3 They do not do things that are wrong; they behave like Yahweh wants them to.
Aole lakou e hana hewa, Ma kona aoao no lakou e hele ai.

8 I will obey all (your statutes/that you have decreed that [we] should do); do not desert/abandon me!
E malama no wau i kau mau kauoha: Mai haalele mai oe ia'u, aole loa.
9 [I know] [RHQ] how a youth can (keep his life pure/avoid sinning); it is by obeying what you have told us to do.
Pehea la e hoomaemae ai ke kanaka ui i kona aoao? I ka malama ana, e like me kau olelo.
10 I try to serve you with my entire inner being; do not allow me to (wander away from obeying/disobey) (your commands/what you have commanded).

E hooko oe i kau olelo, i kau kauwa nei, Ka mea i makau aku ia oe.
39 [People] insult me; protect me from those insults, [because] I hate them. The (regulations/rules that you have given [to us]) are [very] good!

90 You will faithfully [continue doing] ([for people who are not yet born/in every generation]) what you have (promised/said that you would do); you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly [there].
Mai kekahi hanauna a i kekahi hanauna kou oiaio: Ua hookumu oe i ka honua, a ua kupaa ia.
91 To this day, [all things on the earth] remain because you decided that they should remain; everything [on the earth] serves you.

103 [When I read] your words, they are like [MET] sweet things that I taste/eat, [yes], they are even sweeter than honey.
