Psalms 63

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.

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 So I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.

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

3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.

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

4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.

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

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.

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

6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.

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

7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

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

8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.

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

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

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

11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped!

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