Psalms 9
1 For the leader;’almuth labben. A psalm of David. With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse.
E HOONANI aku au ia oe, e Iehova, me ko'u naau a pau; E heluhelu aku au i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
2 I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;
E olioli no au, a e hauoli no hoi ia oe: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa, e ke Mea Kiekie loa.
3 because backward my foes were turned, they stumbled and perished before you.
I ka hoi hope ana o ko'u poe enemi, E haule no lakou a make ma kou alo.
4 My right and my claim you have upheld, you did sit on the throne as a fair judge,
Ua hoopono mai oe ia'u, ua hooko mai oe i ko'u, Ua noho oe ma ka nohoalii e hoopai pololei ana.
5 rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, and blotting their name out forever and ever.
Ua papa oe i na lahuikanaka e; Ua luku iho no hoi oe i ka poe hewa; Ua hokai mau loa oe i ko lakou inoa i ka wa pau ole.
6 The foe is vanished, ruined forever, their cities destroyed, their memory perished.
A o ka enemi, ua pau ia i ka make mau loa; Ua pau ua kulanakauhale ia oe i ka lukuia; Ua lilo hoi ko lakou kaulana i ka make.
7 See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,
Aka, o mau loa ana no o Iehova: Ua hoomakaukau oia i kona nohoalii no ka hookolokolo ana.
8 ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.
E hookolokolo mai no ia i ko ke ao nei ma ka pono; E hoopai mai no ia i kanaka me ka ewaewa ole.
9 So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.
E lilo ana no o Iehova i puuhonua no ka poe i hooluhihewaia, I mea e pakele ai i ka manawa popilikia.
10 Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon.
O ka poe i ike i kou inoa e hilinai aku lakou ia oe; O ka poe i imi aku ia oe, aole oe, e Iehova, i haalele ia lakou.
11 Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare his deeds among the nations.
E hoolea aku ia Iehova i ka mea e noho ana ma Ziona: E hai aku iwaena o na kanaka i kana mau hana.
12 As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, he does not forget the cry of the wretched.
A i imi mai oia i ke koko e hoopai mai, E manao mai no ia ia lakou; Aole oia i hoopoina i ka ulono ana a ka poe haahaa.
13 Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes afflict me, lift me up from the gates of death;
E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova; E manao oe i ka hoino ana mai o ka poe inaina mai ia'u, O oe ka mea nana i hoala au mai ka puka mai o ka make;
14 so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.
I hoike aku au i kou nani a pau, Ma na pukapahale o ke kaikamahine a Ziona; E hauoli no hoi au i kou ola.
15 The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.
Ua poho ilalo ko na aina e i ka lua a lakou i hana'i, I ka upena a lakou i huna ai i hei ai ko lakou wawae.
16 The Lord is revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. (Selah)
Ua ikea o Iehova, ua hana mai ia i ka pono; Ua punihei ka mea kolohe i ka hana a kona mau lima iho. (Hikaiona, Sila)
E auhulihia ka poe hewa ilalo i ka malu o ka make, A me na lahuikanaka a pau i hoopoina i ke Akua. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.
Aka, aole e hoopoina mau ia mai ka poe i hooluhiia, A o ka manaolana o ka ilihune aole loa ia e hoka.
19 Arise, Lord; don’t let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged.
E ku ae oe, e Iehova; mai lanakila kanaka; E hookolokoloia mai na lahuikanaka imua o kou alo.
20 Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. (Selah)
E hooweliweli mai oe ia lakou, e Iehova: I ike pono ko na aina, he mau kanaka wale no lakou. (Sila)
