Psalms 56

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:

Tretrezo iraho ry Andrianañahare; fa lialia’ ondatio; forekeke’e amañ’aly handro am-pohatse.

2 Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

Te handialia ahy lomoñandro o mivoñoñ’ ahikoo; amy te maro ty mifandrava amako, ry Andindimoneñey.

3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

Amy andro mampangebahebak’ ahy, Ihe ty hiatoako,

4 In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?

Aman’Andrianañahare —handrengeako o tsara’eo— fa iatoako t’i Andrianañahare, tsy ho hemban-draho; inoñe ty hanoe’ o nofotseo amako.

5 All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

Embere’ iereo lomoñandro o fitoloñakoo; fikitrohan-draty avao ty ereñeren-tro’iareo.

6 They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.

Mifañosoñe iereo, mietake, mitinoñe ty liako; mandiñe hitsepake ty fiaiko.

7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.

Ty hatsivokara’ iareo—tsy hipoliotse. Aretsaho an-kaviñerañe ondatio, ry Andrianañahare.

8 My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

Fa vinolili’o o firererereakoo; apoho an-jonjò’o ao o ranomasokoo; tsy amy boke’oy hao irezay?

9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

Hitolike amy zao o rafelahikoo, amy andro kanjiekoy, Zao ty rendreko, te mpañimb’ ahy t’i Andrianañahare,

10 In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

I Andrianañahare ro andrengeako o tsara’eo, Iehovà ro añonjonako o saontsi’eo.

11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

I Andrianañahare ro fiatoako, tsy ho hemban-draho, inoñe ty hanoe’ ondaty amako.

12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.

Havahako o nifantàkoo, ry Andrianañahare; hañenga fañandriañañe ama’o.

13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

Amy te vinotso’o ty fiaiko tsy hikenkañe; Eka! o tomboko tsy hitsikapy, ie hijelanjelañe añatrefan’Añahare eo an-kazavan-kaveloñe.
