Psalms 28
1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
I A oe, e Iehova, e kahea aku ai au e kuu pohaku, mai hookuli mai oe ia'u; O like auanei au me ka poe iho ilalo o ka Iua, ke hookuli mai oe ia'u.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
E hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka'u pule, i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia oe, I ka hapai ana o kuu mau lima i kou wahi hoano.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.
Mai alako ae ia'u me ka poe aia, me ka poe hana hewa, Ka poe olelo aloha i ko lakou mau hoalauna, He hewa no nae maloko o ko lakou mau naau.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.
E haawi ia lakou e like me ka lakou mau hana; A mamuli o ka hewa o ko lakou hooikaika ana; E haawi ia lakou mamuli o ka hana o ko lakou mau lima; E uku ia lakou no ka lakou hana.
5 Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manao i na hana a Iehova, Aole hoi i ka hana ana o kona mau lima, E wawahi oia ia lakou, aole e kukulu ia lakou iluna.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai no ia i ka leo a ka'u mau pule.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.
O Iehova kuu ikaika a me kuu palekaua; Ia ia i hilinai ai kun naau, a ua kokuaia mai au; Nolaila i hauoli nui ai kuu naau, A ma kuu mele e hoolea aku ai au ia ia.
8 Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
O Iehova ko lakou ikaika; Oia hoi ka ikaika e ola'i kona mea i poniia.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever.
E hoola i kou poe kanaka, a e hoomaikai i kou hooilina: E hanai ia lakou, a e kaikai ia lakou a mau loa.
