Psalms 9
1 For the chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart; I will tell about all your marvelous deeds.
E HOONANI aku au ia oe, e Iehova, me ko'u naau a pau; E heluhelu aku au i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High!
E olioli no au, a e hauoli no hoi ia oe: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa, e ke Mea Kiekie loa.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.
I ka hoi hope ana o ko'u poe enemi, E haule no lakou a make ma kou alo.
4 For you have defended my just cause; you sit on your throne, a righteous judge!
Ua hoopono mai oe ia'u, ua hooko mai oe i ko'u, Ua noho oe ma ka nohoalii e hoopai pololei ana.
5 You rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Ua papa oe i na lahuikanaka e; Ua luku iho no hoi oe i ka poe hewa; Ua hokai mau loa oe i ko lakou inoa i ka wa pau ole.
6 The enemy crumbled like ruins when you overthrew their cities. All remembrance of them has perished.
A o ka enemi, ua pau ia i ka make mau loa; Ua pau ua kulanakauhale ia oe i ka lukuia; Ua lilo hoi ko lakou kaulana i ka make.
7 But Yahweh remains forever; he has established his throne for justice.
Aka, o mau loa ana no o Iehova: Ua hoomakaukau oia i kona nohoalii no ka hookolokolo ana.
8 He will judge the world with righteousness, and he will execute judgment for the nations with fairness.
E hookolokolo mai no ia i ko ke ao nei ma ka pono; E hoopai mai no ia i kanaka me ka ewaewa ole.
9 Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
E lilo ana no o Iehova i puuhonua no ka poe i hooluhihewaia, I mea e pakele ai i ka manawa popilikia.
10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Yahweh, do not abandon those who seek you.
O ka poe i ike i kou inoa e hilinai aku lakou ia oe; O ka poe i imi aku ia oe, aole oe, e Iehova, i haalele ia lakou.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who rules in Zion; tell the nations what he has done.
E hoolea aku ia Iehova i ka mea e noho ana ma Ziona: E hai aku iwaena o na kanaka i kana mau hana.
12 For the God who avenges bloodshed remembers; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
A i imi mai oia i ke koko e hoopai mai, E manao mai no ia ia lakou; Aole oia i hoopoina i ka ulono ana a ka poe haahaa.
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh; see how I am oppressed by those who hate me, you who can snatch me from the gates of death.
E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova; E manao oe i ka hoino ana mai o ka poe inaina mai ia'u, O oe ka mea nana i hoala au mai ka puka mai o ka make;
14 Oh, that I might proclaim all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation!
I hoike aku au i kou nani a pau, Ma na pukapahale o ke kaikamahine a Ziona; E hauoli no hoi au i kou ola.
15 The nations have sunk down into the pit that they made; their feet are caught in the net that they hid.
Ua poho ilalo ko na aina e i ka lua a lakou i hana'i, I ka upena a lakou i huna ai i hei ai ko lakou wawae.
16 Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked is ensnared by his own actions. (Selah)
Ua ikea o Iehova, ua hana mai ia i ka pono; Ua punihei ka mea kolohe i ka hana a kona mau lima iho. (Hikaiona, Sila)
E auhulihia ka poe hewa ilalo i ka malu o ka make, A me na lahuikanaka a pau i hoopoina i ke Akua. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the oppressed be forever dashed.
Aka, aole e hoopoina mau ia mai ka poe i hooluhiia, A o ka manaolana o ka ilihune aole loa ia e hoka.
19 Arise, Yahweh; do not let man win against you; may the nations be judged in your sight.
E ku ae oe, e Iehova; mai lanakila kanaka; E hookolokoloia mai na lahuikanaka imua o kou alo.
20 Terrify them, Yahweh; may the nations know that they are mere men. (Selah)
E hooweliweli mai oe ia lakou, e Iehova: I ike pono ko na aina, he mau kanaka wale no lakou. (Sila)
