1Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—
1E HOOMAIKAIIA o Iehova, ko'u pohaku, Ka mea i ao mai i ko'u mau lima e hoouka, A me ko'u mau manamana lima e kana.
2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
2O ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u puukaua; O ko'u puuhonua, a me ko'u mea e pakele ai; O ko'u palekaua, ka mea a'u e hiliuai ai; Ka mea i hoopio mai i ko'u poe kanaka malalo iho o'u.
3LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
3E Iehova, heaha ke kanaka, i ike mai ai oe ia ia? A me ke keiki a ke kanaka i manao ai oe la ia?
4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
4Ua like ke kanaka me ka mahu; A o kona mau la hoi me he aka la i hele aku.
5Part your heavens, LORD, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
5E Iehova, e hookulou mai oe i na lani a iho mai ilalo; E hoopa i na kuahiwi, a e pii aku ka uwahi.
6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
6E hooanapu mai i ka uwila, a e hoopuehu ia lakou: E pana aku i kou mau pua, a e luku ia lakou.
7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
7E kikoo mai oe i kou lima mai luna mai; A e unuhi mai ia'u a e hoopakele hoi ia'u maloko aku o na wai nui, Mai ka lima aku hoi o na keiki malihini;
8whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
8Ka poe olelo wahahee ma ka lakou waha, A o ko lakou lima akau, he lima akau hoopunipuni.
9I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
9E ke Akua, e oli aku au i ke oli hou ia oe, Ma ka violaumi he umi na kaula, e hoolea aku ai au ia oe.
10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
10Nana no e haawi mai i ke ola no na'lii; Nana no i hoopakele ia Davida i kana kauwa, I ka pahi kaua o ka hewa.
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
11E unuhi mai oe ia'u, a e hoopakele mai hoi ia'u, I ka lima o na keiki malihini, Ka poe mea waha olelo wahahee, A o ko lakou lima akau, he lima akau hoopunipuni;
12Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
12I like ka kakou poe keikikane me na mea kanu, I ulu a nui i ko lakou manawa opiopio: I like hoi ka kakou poe kaikamahine me na pohaku kihi, I anaiia ma ke ano o ka luakini;
13Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
13I piha hoi ko lakou halepapaa, E haawi mai ana i mea o kela ano, keia ano; I hanau mai ai ka kakou poe hipa ma na tausani, Ma ka umi tausani hoi ma na alanui.
14Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
14I hapai hoi ka kakou poe bipi; I komo ole kekahi iloko, aole hoi e puka iwaho, A i ole hoi he mea ohumu, ma ko lakou mau alanui,
15Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is the LORD.
15Pomaikai ka lahuikanaka i noho pela; Pomaikai no ka lahuikanaka mamuli o Iehova, ko kakou Akua.
