Psalms 57
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
Tretrezo iraho ry Andrianañahare, iferenaiño, fa Ihe ro fitsoloham-piaiko; eka! an-talinjon’ ela’o ao ty fipalirako, ampara’ te ihelaña’ ty hankàñe.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Kanjieko t’i Andrianañahare Abo-tia; Aman’ Añahare fahatafeterako.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Hahitri’e hirik’an-dikerañe ao ty fandrombahañe ahy, endaha’e i mandialia ahikoy. Selà Ho sangitrihen’ Añahare ty fiferenaiña’e naho ty hatò’e.
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
An-teñateñan-diona ao ty fiaiko; itraofako handre o mpikofòke afoo; toe o ana’ ondatio, lefoñe naho ana-pale o famotsi’eo, fibara masioñe ty famele’iareo.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
Onjoneñe ambone’ i likerañey irehe, ry Andrianañahare, ambone’ ty tane toy iaby ty enge’o.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. (Selah)
Nikotepe’ iareo harato o liakoo; mibokobokoke ty fiaiko; nihalia’ iereo koboñe ty aoloko eo, f’ie nigodoñe am-po’e ao. Selà
7 My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Mijadoñe ty troko ry Andrianañahare, eka, gañe ty troko; hisabo iraho, eka hisabo fandrengeañe.
8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
Mivañona, ry engeko! Mitroara ry kararàke naho marovany, hampitsekafako ty fanjirik’andro!
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Hañandriañe Azo iraho ry Talè añivo’ ondatio eo, ho rengeko an-tsabo amo kilakila‘ndatio ao.
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
Amy te ra’elahy pak’ an-dindiñe añe ty fiferenaiña’o; le pak’an-drahoñe eñe ty hatò’o.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Onjoneñe ambonen-dikerañ’eñe irehe ry Andrianañahare, ty enge’o ambone’ ty tane bey toy.
