Psalms 63

1 O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,

2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.

3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.

4 So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,

6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.

ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.

7 For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.

8 My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.

Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.
