Psalms 36
1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,
O KA lawehala ana o ka mea hewa, oia ke olelo iloko o ko'u naau, Aohe weliweli i ke Akua imua o kona alo.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
No ka mea, malimali oia ia ia iho imua o kona mau maka iho, A ikeia kona hewa he mea e hoowahawahaia.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.
O na olelo a kona waha he hewa ia a me ka hoopunipuni: Ua haalele oia i ka naauao a me ka hana maikai.
4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
Kukakuka oia i ka hewa maluna o kona wahi moe; Ke ku nei no hoi ia ma ka aoao pono ole: Aole ia i hoowahawaha i ka hewa.
5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
O kou aloha, e Iehova, aia no i ka lani; A o kou oiaio, e hiki aku no ia i ke ao.
6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
O kou pono na like ia me na kuahiwi o ke Akua; A o kou hooponopono ana he moana nui no ia; Ua malama oe i ke kanaka a me ka holoholona.
7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
Nani ka hemolele o kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua! Nolaila, e kanaho ai na keiki a kanaka i ka malu o kou mau eheu.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
E oluolu loa lalkou i ka mea momona o kou hale; A e hoohainu oe ia lakou i ko ka muliwai o ka olioli nou.
9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
No ka mea, aia no ia oe ke kumuwai o ke ola: A iloko o kou malamalama e ike ai makou i malamalama.
10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
E hoomau oe i kou lokomaikai i ka poe ike ia oe, A me kou pono i ka poe naau pololei.
11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
Mai noho a pa mai ke kapuwai o ka haaheo ia'u; Aole hoi o lawe aku ka lima o ka mea hewa ia'u.
12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Aia ka poe hana hewa ua hina; Ua hoohioloia lakou ilalo, aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku iluna.
