Psalms 63
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1(63-1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. (63-2) O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
1E 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(63-3) So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
2I ike au i kou mana a me kou nani, Me a'u i ike ai ia oe maloko o kahi hoano.
3(63-4) For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.
3No 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(63-5) So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
4Pela 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(63-6) My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
5E 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(63-7) When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.
6I ko'u hoomanao ana ia oe ma kuu wahi moe, Me ka manaonao ia oe i na wati o ka po.
7(63-8) For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
7No ka mea, ua lilo oe i kokua no'u; Nolaila, ma ka malu o kou mau eheu, e hauoli aku ai au.
8(63-9) My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
8Ke hahai ikaika nei ko'u uhane mamuli ou; Ke kokua paa mai nei kou lima akau ia'u.
9(63-10) But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
9Aka, o ka poe imi mai i kuu uhane e pepehi mai, E komo lakou i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua.
10(63-11) They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
10E haule lakou i ka pahikaua; E lilo lakou i waiwai kaili no na alopeke.
11(63-12) But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
11Aka, 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.
