Psalms 144

1 Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.

Nataon’ i Davida.

2 My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.

Izay Mpiantra sy batery fiarovana ho ahy sady fiarovana avo sy Mpanafaka ahy, Ary ampingako sy fialofako, Izay mahafolaka ny vahoakako hanoa ahy

3 Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

Jehovah ô, inona ny olona, no iahianao azy? Ary ny zanak’ olombelona, no iheveranao azy?

4 Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.

Ny olona dia tahaka ny zava-poana, Ny androny dia tahaka ny aloka mihelina.

5 Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.

Jehovah ô, aondreho ny lanitrao, ka midìna; Tendreo ny tendrombohitra, dia hidonaka ireny.

6 Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.

Ampitselatselaro ny helatra, ka ampielezo ireo; Alefao ny zana-tsipìkanao, ka ampifanaritaho ireo;

7 Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:

Ahinjiro avy any ambony ny tananao; Afaho aho, ka vonjeo amin’ ny rano be, Dia amin’ ny tanan’ ny hafa firenena,

8 Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.

Izay miteny zava-poana amin’ ny vavany, Ary ny tànany ankavanana dia tanana ankavanana mamitaka.

9 To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.

Andriamanitra ô, hihira fihiram-baovao ho Anao aho; Amin’ ny valiha tory folo no hankalazako Anao,

10 Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:

Izay manome famonjena ho an’ ireo mpanjaka, Sady mamonjy an’ i Davida mpanompony tsy ho voan’ ny sabatra mandratra.

11 Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:

Afaho aho, ka vonjeo amin’ ny tanan’ ny hafa firenena, Izay miteny zava-poana amin’ ny vavany, Ary ny tànany ankavanana dia tanana ankavanana mamitaka;

12 Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:

Mba ho tahaka ny zava-maniry maroroka ny zanakai-lahy, Ary ho tahaka ny vato fehizoro voasoratra tsara toy ny fomban’ ny lapan’ andriana ny zanakai-vavy.

13 Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:

Ho feno ny trano fitehirizanay, ka hisy vokatra betsaka samy hafa karazana; Hiteraka arivoarivo sy alinalina ny ondrinay any an-tsahanay;

14 Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.

Hahazaka be ny ombinay, Ary tsy hisy ho rava, na ho lasan-ko babo, Sady tsy hisy fitarainana any an-dalambenay.

15 They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.

Sambatra ny firenena izay tahaka izany; Eny, sambatra ny firenena izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho Andriamaniny.
