Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

E HOOLOHE mai o Iehova ia oe i ka la popilikia; I ola oe i ka inoa o ke Akua no Iakoba.

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

Mai kona keenakapu mai e hoouna mai ai oia i kou mea nana e alu; Mai Ziona mai e kokua mai ai oia ia oe.

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

E hoomanao mai hoi i kau mau mohai a pau; A e hoopono mai hoi i kau mohai kuni. (Sila)

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

E haawi mai hoi e like me kou naau iho, E hooko mai hoi i kou manao a pau.

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

I kou ola e hauoli ai makou, A i ka inoa o ko kakou Akua e kau ai kakou i ka hae: E ae mai hoi o Iehova i kau pule a pau.

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Ano ua ike au, ua hoola o Iehova i kona mea i poniia; Ma kona lani hoano no ia e hoolohe mai ai ia ia, Me ka mana o kona lima akau e ola'i.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

Ma na kaakaua kekahi poe, ma na lio kekahi i manao ai; Aka, e hoomanao kakou i ka inoa o Iehova o ko kakou Akua.

8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

Ua emi lakou, ua haule ilalo; Aka, ua ala mai nei makou a ku pono iluna.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

E hoola mai, e Iehova; E hoolohe mai ke alii ia makou i ko makou kahea ana.
