Psalms 63

1 “A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry land, and it is faint without water.

Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,

2 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;

Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.

3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:

Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.

Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.

5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.

Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,

6 When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.

ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.

7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.

Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.

8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.

Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.

Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;

10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.

Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.

Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.
