Psalms 16
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in thee.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 I said to the Lord, Thou art my Lord; for thou has no need of my goodness.
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
Ho be ny fahorian’ izay manova an’ Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin’ ny molotro ny anarany.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou art he that restores my inheritance to me.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yea, I have a most excellent heritage.
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin’ ny lavaka Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand [there are] delights for ever.
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
