Halelu 56
1 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.
For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.
2 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.
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.
3 I ko'u manawa e makau ai, E hilinai aku au ia oe.
What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
4 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?
In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?
5 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.
All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 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.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.
7 He pakele anei ko lakou ma ka hewa? I ka huhu, e kiola iho ai i na kanaka, e ke Akua,
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8 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?
Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?
9 Aia kahea aku au, alaila e hoi ihope ko'u enemi: Ua ike au ia mea, no ka mea, mamuli o'u ke Akua.
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.
10 Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo mau au i ka olelo: Iloko o Iehova e hoomaikai au i ka olelo:
In God (I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah (I will praise [his] word),
11 Maluna o ke Akua i hilinai aku ai au, aole e makau; Heaha ka ke kanaka e hana mai ai ia'u?
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
12 Maluna o'u ka berita ana nou, e ke Akua: E haawi aku au i ka hoolea ia oe.
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
13 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.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [Hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
