Psalms 63
1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, and my flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
E KE Akua, o oe no ko'u Akua, e imi koke no au ia oe; Ke makewai nei no hoi ko'u uhane nou, Ke iini nei ko'u kino ia oe i ka aina maloo, Me ka makewai, ma kahi wai ole;
2 So I have looked on you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.
I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
3 Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will praise you.
No ka mea, ua oi aku ka pono o kou lokomaikai mamua o ke ola nei, E hoolea aku ko'u mau lehelehe ia oe.
4 So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.
Pela e hoomaikai aku ai au ia oe i ko'u ola nei; I kou inoa, e hapai ai au i ko'u mau lima.
5 It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,
E maona auanei ko'u uhane me he mea la he ono loa a me ka momona; Me na lehelehe olioli e hoolea aku ai ko'u waha;
6 when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.
I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
7 For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
8 I cling to you; your right hand supports me.
Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;
Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
10 they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.
E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will be proud of him, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped up.
Aka, e olioli ke alii ike Akua; E hauoli hoi na mea a pau i hoohiki ma o na la, Aka, e hoopaaia ka waha o ka poe olelo wahahee.
