Psalms 56

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

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 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

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

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Amin’ ny andro atahorako no itokiako Anao.

4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

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

5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

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

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

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

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

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

8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

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

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, 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, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.

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

11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

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

12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

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

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

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.
