Psalms 56

1 “To the chief musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, by David, a Michtham, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.” Be gracious unto me, O God; for man longeth to swallow me up; all the time he oppresseth me fighting.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-jonathelem-rehokim. Miktama nataon’ i Davida, fony nisambotra azy tany Gata ny Filistina. Mamindrà fo amiko, Andriamanitra ô, fa misafoaka manenjika ahy ny olona; miady amiko mandrakariva izy ka mampahory ahy.

2 Those that regard me with envy long to swallow [me] up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High.

Misafoaka manenjika mandrakariva ny mpampahory ahy; maro tokoa no mirehareha miady amiko.

3 The day [when] I am afraid, I will still trust in thee.

Amin’ ny andro atahorako no itokiako Anao.

4 In God will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?

Andriamanitra no iderako ny teniny; Andriamanitra no itokiako, ka tsy mba hatahotra aho; inona no hataon’ ny nofo amiko?

5 All the day they wrest my words: against me are all their thoughts for evil.

Manimba ny raharahako mandra-kariva ireny; ny heviny rehetra dia ny hanisy ratsy ahy ihany.

6 They come together in troops, they hide themselves, they are those that watch my heels, as though they hoped [to take] my soul.

Miangona izy, miery izy, mitsongo-dia ahy izy, satria mikendry ny aiko.

7 Because of their wrong-doing let me escape from them: in anger cast down the people, O God.

Amin’ izany faharatsiany izany moa hisy hahafahany va? Aripaho amin’ ny fahatezeranao ny firenena. Andriamanitra ô.

8 My wanderings hast thou well numbered: put thou my tears into thy bottle; behold, they are numbered by thee.

Manisa ny firenireneko Hianao; ataovy ao an-tavoahanginao ny ranomasoko; tsy eo amin’ ny bokinao va ireny?

9 Then shall my enemies retire backward on the day when I call [on thee]: this I know—that God is for me.

Amin’ izay dia hiamboho ny fahavaloko amin’ ny andro hiantsoako Anao; izao dia fantatro, fa momba ahy Andriamanitra.

10 In God will I praise the word: in the Lord will I praise the word.

Andriamanitra no iderako ny teniny; Jehovah no iderako ny teniny.

11 In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can man do unto me?

Andriamanitra no itokiako; ka tsy mba hatahotra aho; inona no hataon’ ny olona amiko?

12 Upon me, O God, [rest] thy vows: I will pay thanksgiving offerings unto thee.

Nivoady taminao aho, Andriamanitra ô, dia hanatitra fanati-pisaorana ho Anao.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death—yea, behold, my feet from slipping, that I may walk before God in the light of the life.

Fa efa nanafaka ny fanahiko tamin’ ny fahafatesana Hianao; eny, nanafaka ny tongotro Hianao mba tsy ho solafaka. Handehanako eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahazavan’ ny velona.
