Psalms 56
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, e ale mai paha na kanaka ia'u; E paio aua i kela la i keia la, ua hooluhihewa mai oia ia'u.
2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
E ake ko'u mau enemi e ale ia'u i kela la i keia la; No ka mea, he nui no ka poe e kaua ana ia'u, e ka Mea kiekie loa.
3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
I ko'u manawa e makau ai, E hilinai aku au ia oe.
4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo au i kana olelo; O ke Akua ka'u i hilinai aku ai, aole au e makau; Heaha ka ka io o hana mai ai ia'u?
5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
I kela la i keia la, ua hookahuli lakou i ka'u mau olelo; Pau ko lakou mau manao i ke ku e ia'u no ka hewa.
6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
Ua akoakoa lakou, ua pee iho la hoi, Ua nana mai lakou i ko u mau kapuwai, I ko lakou kakali ana i ko'u uhane.
7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
He pakele anei ko lakou ma ka hewa? I ka huhu, e kiola iho ai i na kanaka, e ke Akua,
8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
Ua helu oe i ko'u auwana ana: E ukuki oe i ko'u waimaka i kou omole: Aole anei ia iloko o kau buke?
9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
Aia kahea aku au, alaila e hoi ihope ko'u enemi: Ua ike au ia mea, no ka mea, mamuli o'u ke Akua.
10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo mau au i ka olelo: Iloko o Iehova e hoomaikai au i ka olelo:
11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
Maluna o ke Akua i hilinai aku ai au, aole e makau; Heaha ka ke kanaka e hana mai ai ia'u?
12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
Maluna o'u ka berita ana nou, e ke Akua: E haawi aku au i ka hoolea ia oe.
13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
No ka mea, ua hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka make: Aole anei e hoopakele i ko'u mau kapuwai i ka hina ana? I hele au imua o ke Akua ma ka malamalama o ka poe ola.
