Psalms 43
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
1E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, No'u nei hoi e hakaka'i i ka lahuikanaka aloha ole: E hoopakele ia'u i ke kanaka hooopunipuni, me ka hoopono ole.
2For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
2No ka mea, o oe no ko'u Akua e ikaika ai: No ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai ia'u? No ka aha la e u hele ai au no ka hooluhihewa ana mai o ka enemi?
3O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places.
3E hoopnka i kou malamalama a me kou oiaio: E alakai ia mau mea ia'u; A e lawe hoi ia'u i kou mauna hoano, a i kou mau halelewa.
4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy; and praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
4Alaila e hele au i ke kuahu o ke Akua, I ke Akua ko'u olioli nui: Oiaio, ma ka lira e hoolea aku ai au ia oe, e ke Akua ko'u Akua.
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
5No ke aha la oe i hoohaahaaia'i, e kuu uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E hoolana i ka manao i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia: Oia ke ola o ko'u maka, a me kuu Akua.
