Psalms 54

1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida, fony tonga ny Zifita ka nanao tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Tsy miery any aminay va Davida? Vonjeo amin’ ny anaranao aho, Andriamanitra ô, ary omeo rariny aho araka ny herinao.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Andriamanitra ô, henoy ny fivavako; mihainoa ny tenin’ ny vavako.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Fa olona hafa firenena no mitsangana hamely ahy, ary olon-dozabe no mitady ny aiko; tsy mihevitra an’ Andriamanitra ho eo anatrehany izy. (Sela)

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

Indro, Andriamanitra no Mpamonjy ahy; ny Tompo no Mpanohana ny fanahiko.

5 He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

Hamaly ny ratsy ataon’ ny mpampahory ahy Izy; aoka ny fahamarinanao no handringananao azy.

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

Sitrapoko ihany no hanaterako fanatitra ho Anao; hidera ny anaranao aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara izy.

7 For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.

Fa efa namonjy ahy ho afaka tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra Izy; ary ny masoko dia faly mijery ny amin’ ny fahavaloko.
