Psalms 63

1 “A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” O God! thou art my God! earnestly do I seek thee! My soul thirsteth, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry, thirsty land. where is no 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 Thus I look toward thee in thy sanctuary, To behold thy power and thy glory!

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

3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life; Therefore 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 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And with joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee,

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

6 When I think of thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.

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

7 For thou art my help, And in the shadow of thy wings I rejoice.

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

8 My soul cleaveth to thee; Thy right hand holdeth me up.

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

9 While they who seek to destroy my life Shall themselves go down into the depths of the earth.

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

10 They shall be given up to the sword, And be a portion for jackals.

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

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; All that swear by him shall be honored; But the mouth of liars shall be stopped.

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