Psalms 40

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

U A kali ahonui aku la au ia Iehova, A maliu mai ia me ka hoolohe i ko'u hea ana.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

Ua lawe mai oia ia'u mai loko mai o ka lua weliweli, Mai loko mai o ka lepo poho, A ua hooku i ko'u mau kapuwai maluna o ka pohaku, A ua hooku pono oia i kuu hele ana.

3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.

Ua haawi mai oia i ka mele hou iloko o kuu waha, I ka hoolea i ko kakou Akua: E ike auanei na mea he nui, a e weliweli hoi, A e hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.

4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

Pomaikai ke kanaka i hoolilo ia Iehova i mea e hilinai ai nona: Aole hoi i mahalo i ka poe haaheo, Aole hoi i ka poe kapae ma ka wahahee.

5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

He nui na mea kupaianaha au i hana'i, e Iehova kuu Akua, A me ou manao ia makou; Aole ia e helu pololei ia'ku ia oe: Ina makemake au e hai heluhelu aku, Ua nui loa ia, aole e pau i ka heluia.

6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

O ka mohai a me ka alana kau i makemake ole ai; O ko'u mau pepeiao kau i hoohakahaka mai ai; O ka mohalkuni a me ka mohailawehala kau i kauoha ole mai ai.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

Alaila i aku la au, Eia, ke hele mai nei au; Ma ka buke palapala i kakauia'i no'u,

8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

Ke hauoli nei au i ka hana aku i kou makemake, e ko'u Akua: Oiaio, o kou kanawai hoi eia iloko o ko'u naau.

9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

Ua hai aku au i ka pono i ke anaina nui: Eia hoi, aole au i hoopaa i kuu mau lehelehe, E Iehova, ua ike no hoi oe.

10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

Aole au i huna i kou pono iloko o ko'u naau; Ua hai aku no hoi au i kou oiaio a me kou ola: Aole au i huna i kou lokomaikai, a me kou oiaio, i ke anaina nui.

11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

Mai aua mai oe i kou aloha ia'u, e Iehova; E hoomalu mau mai kou lokomaikai me kou oiaio ia'u.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

No ka mea, ua hoopuni mai ia'u na mea ino, aole e pau i ka heluia: Ua lalau mai ko'u mau hewa ia'u, Aole hiki ia'u ke nana iluna: Ua oi aku lakou mamua o na lauoho o kuu poo: Nolaila i haalele ai ko'u naau ia'u.

13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

E oluolu hoi oe, e Iehova, e hoola ia'u: E wiki mai, e Iehova, e kokua mai ia'u.

14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

E hoohilahilaia, a e hoka pu ka poe imi mai i ko'u uhane e hoomake mai ia; E kipakuia'ku i hope ka poe i makemake e poino au.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

E hooneoneoia hoi lakou i uku no ka hilahila o lakou, Ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, Aia la, aia la!

16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”

E hauoli aku a e olioli no hoi ia oe, Na mea a pau i imi aku ia oe: A e olelo mau ka poe makemake i kou ola, E hoonaniia'ku o Iehova.

17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

Aka, ua haahaa au a me ka nele; Hoomanao mai no nae ka Haku ia'u: O oe no ko'u kokua a me ko'u Hoola; Mai hookaulua iki oe, e ko'u Akua.
