< Psalms 141 >
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Aoka hankeo anatrehanao mandrakariva toy ny ditin-kazo manitra ny fivavako, Ary ho toy ny fanatitra hariva ny fanandratako ny tanako.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Jehovah ô, asio fiambenana eo anoloan’ ny vavako; Ambeno ny varavaran’ ny molotro.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
Aza avela hirona ho amin’ ny zava-dratsy ny foko, Hiray raharaha amin’ ny olona mpanao ratsy hanao izay asa tsy mety; Ary aoka tsy hihinana ny zava-piny aho.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Aoka ny marina hamely ahy amin’ ny fahalemen-panahy ka hananatra ahy, Fa diloilo ahosotra ny lohako izany, ary aoka tsy handà izany ny lohako; Fa ny hany heriko dia ny mbola hivavaka ihany noho ny faharatsian’ ireny.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
Havarina amin’ ny hantsam-bato ny mpitsara azy, Dia hankasitraka ny teniko ny olona.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
Toy ny fiasa sy ny fihevo ny tany No nanelezana ny taolanay teo am-bavan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol )
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Fa Hianao no andrandrain’ ny masoko, Jehovah Tompo ô; Hianao no ialofako, aza mandatsaka ny aiko.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Arovy aho amin’ ny fandrika amandrihany ahy Sy amin’ ny tadivavaran’ ny mpanao ratsy.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin’ ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.
