Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u leo, i ka'u kamailio ana'ku: E hoomalu i kuu ola nei, i ka makau ana i ka enemi.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

E huna mai ia'u mai ka ohumu malu ana o ka poe hewa; Mai ka hoohaunaele ana hoi o ka poe lawehala:

3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Ka poe i hookala i ko lakou alelo me he pahikaua la; A i lena no hoi ko lakou mau pua, he mau olelo awahia;

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?

Hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka mea ino; Kukakuka lakou e waiho malu i na pahele; Olelo no hoi lakou, Owai la na mea e ike ia lakou?

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Imi no hoi lakou i na mea hewa; Huli lakou me ka imi ikaika: O ka manao a me ka naau o lakou he hohonu ia.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Pela e hoohaule iho lakou i ko lakou alelo maluna o lakou iho; E holo aku no hoi ka poe a pau i ike ia lakou.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

E pau no hoi na kanaka i ka makau, A e hai aku i ka hana a ke Akua; No ka mea, e noonoo naauao lakou i kana hana ana.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.
