Psalms 52

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day

O Fanalolahio, ino ty firoharohà’o hatsivokarañe? Lomoñandro ty ­fiferenaiñan’ Añahare.

2 your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.

Mikilily ­fandrotsahañe ty famele’o, manahake ty fiharatse masioñe; ty mpamañahy tia.

3 You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)

Tea’o ty raty te ami’ty soa; i lañitsey ta te hivolan-to. Selà

4 You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.

No’o ze atao fivolan-katramoañe, ty fameleke mamañahy tia.

5 Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)

Aa le harotsan’Añahare kitro-katroke, ho sintone’e, le hapitso’e amy kiboho’oy, vaho hombota’e an-tanen-kaveloñe. Selà

6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

Ho isa’ o vantañeo, naho hañeveñe vaho hiankahake ty hoe:

7 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

Hehe t’indaty tsy nanao an’Andrianañahare ho fipalira’e; fe ty habei’ o vara’eo ty niatoa’e, vaho o fikinia’eo ty nihaozara’e.

8 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.

Aa naho izaho, le hoe sakoa mandrevake añ’anjomban’Añahare ao; iatoako nainai’e donia ty fiferenaiñan’ Añahare,

9 I will give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the saints.

Andriañeko nainai’e irehe, amy te Ihe ty nanao izay, vaho ho tamaeko i tahina’oy ie ty soa añatrefa’ o noro’oo.
