Psalms 63
1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.
E KE Akua, o oe no ko'u Akua, e imi koke no au ia oe; Ke makewai nei no hoi ko'u uhane nou, Ke iini nei ko'u kino ia oe i ka aina maloo, Me ka makewai, ma kahi wai ole;
2 As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,
I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
3 for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.
No ka mea, ua oi aku ka pono o kou lokomaikai mamua o ke ola nei, E hoolea aku ko'u mau lehelehe ia oe.
4 So, while I live, I will bless you, and lift up my hands in your name.
Pela e hoomaikai aku ai au ia oe i ko'u ola nei; I kou inoa, e hapai ai au i ko'u mau lima.
5 As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.
E maona auanei ko'u uhane me he mea la he ono loa a me ka momona; Me na lehelehe olioli e hoolea aku ai ko'u waha;
6 I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;
I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
7 for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.
No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
8 I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.
Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
9 But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,
Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
10 given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.
E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.
Aka, e olioli ke alii ike Akua; E hauoli hoi na mea a pau i hoohiki ma o na la, Aka, e hoopaaia ka waha o ka poe olelo wahahee.
