Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

E KE Akua, e hoola mai oe ia'u ma kou inoa; A e hoopono mai ia'u ma kou ikaika.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

E ke Akua, e hoolohe mai i ka'u pule; E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i na olelo a kuu waha:

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na kanaka e, A ke imi nei i kuu uhane na mea hooluhihewa; Aole lakou i hoonoho i ke Akua i mua o ko lakou alo. (Sila)

4 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

Eia hoi, o ke Akua ko'u kokua; O ka Haku oia pu me ka poe kokua i ko'u uhane.

5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

E uku auanei oia i ka ino maluna o ka poe ku e ia'u; E oki iho oe ia lakou i kou oiaio.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

E mohai oluolu aku au nou; E hoelea aku au ia oe, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono ia.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.

No ka mea, ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ka popilikia a pau; A ua nana ae nei ko'u maka i ko'u poe enemi.
