Psalms 16
1 “A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 [But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them is all my delight.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon 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 Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] 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 wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
