< Psalms 60 >

1 To the Overseer. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to us.
E KE Akua, ua haalele mai oe ia makou; Ua hooanhee liilii oe ia makou; Ua huhu ae nei oe; e maliu hou mai ia makou.
2 Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
Ua hoonauweuwe mai oe i ka honua, a wawahi hoi ia; E hoola i kona nahaha ana, no ka mea, ke nauweuwe nei no ia.
3 Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
Ua hoike mai oe i kou poe kanaka i na mea paakiki; Ua hoohainu mai oe ia makou i ka waina o ka haalulu.
4 Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
Ua haawi mai oe i ka hae i ka poe weliweli ia oe, I hookiekieia'e no ia no ka oiaio. (Sila)
5 That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
I hoopakeleia kou mea aloha; E hoola mai me kou lima akau, a e hooloho mai ia'u.
6 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
Olelo iho la ke Akua ma kona hoano; E hauoli au, e puunane au ia Sekema; A o ke awawa o Sukota ka'u e ana aku ai.
7 Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
No'u no Gileada; no'u no hoi o Manase; O Eperaima ka ikaika o kuu poo; O Iuda ko'u hoailona moi;
8 Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
O Moaba ko'u ipu holoi; Maluna o Edoma e hoohemo aku ai au i kuu kamaa: E hauoli oe, e Pilisetia maluna o'u.
9 Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Owai la ka mea nana wau e lawe i ke kulanakauhale pakaua? Owai la ka mea nana wau e alakai i Edoma?
10 Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
Aole anei o oe, ke Akua, ka mea i haalele mai ia makou? A o oe, e ke Akua, ka i hele pu ole me ko makou poe kaua?
11 Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
E kokua mai oe ia makou i ka popilikia; No ka mea, he lapuwale ke kokua ana o ke kanaka.
12 In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
Iloko o ke Akua e koa aku ai kakou; Oia ke hehi iho i ko kakou poe enemi.
