Psalms 61

1 [For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.] Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny fitarainako, Andriamanitra ô; tandremo ny fivavako.

2 From the most remote place of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Any am-paran’ ny tany no hiantsoako Anao raha reraka ny foko; ento aho ho any amin’ ny vatolampy izay avo ka tsy tratro;

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Fa aroko Hianao sy tilikambo mafy handosirako ny fahavalo.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

Aoka hitoetra ao an-tranonao mandrakizay aho; aoka hialoka ao ambanin’ ny fanomban’ ny elatrao aho,

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Fa Hianao, Andriamanitra ô efa nandre ny voadiko; efa nomenao ahy ny lovan’ izay matahotra ny anaranao.

6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.

Halavao ny andron’ ny mpanjaka; aoka ny taonany hahatratra ny taranaka maro.

7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Aoka hitoetra eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay izy; famindram-po sy fahamarinana no tendreo hiaro azy;

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows day after day.

Ka dia izany no hankalazako ny anaranao mandrakizay, mba hanefako isan’ andro ny voadiko.
