Psalms 7
1 Ode of David: which he sang unto Yahweh, on account of the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, —Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:
Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, Ihe ro fitsolohako, avotsoro amo mañoridañe ahikoo, le hahao;
2 Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, —and there be no deliverer to rescue.
Tsy mone ho ritaritae’e hoe liona ty fiaiko, hirofodrofota’e tsy amam-pañolotse.
3 O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:
Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, naho nanoeko zao: lehe an-tañako ty hatsivokarañe,
4 If I have requited my friend with wrong, —or have oppressed mine adversary without need,
naho vinaleko haratiañe ty rañeko; (hera) nivoloseko tsy amam-poto’e ty nañembets’ ahy;
5 Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, —and, mine honour—in the dust, he may cause to dwell. (Selah)
Le ho hotrohe’ ty rafelahiko, hiambotraha’e; ho lialià’e an-tane ty haveloko, vaho hado’e an-debok’ ao ty engeko. Selà
6 Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:
Miongaha, ry Iehovà, an-kaviñera’o, miavota ty amo fitrotrofiaha’ o rafelahikoo. mivañona ty amako amy zaka kinoi’oy.
7 When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it—on high, do thou return!
Hiarikatok’ ama’o ty fivori’ ondatio, vaho mibaliha hifehea’o boak’añ’abo ey.
8 Yahweh, will judge the peoples, —Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,
Ry Iehovà Mpizaka o kilakila ‘ndatio; zakao iraho ry Iehovà, ty amy havantañako naho ty havañonako an-trok’ ao.
9 Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, —for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.
Hijihetse ty haratia’ o lo-tserekeo naho hajado’o o vañoñeo, fa mpitsòke arofo naho ova t’i Andrianañahare vantañe.
10 My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:
Aman’Añahare ao ty fikalako Ie mpandrombake o vañon-trokeo.
11 A God to vindicate the righteous, —And yet a God to be indignant throughout every day.
Mpizaka to t’i Andrianañahare, Eka, torifike boak’ andro t’i Andrianañahare;
12 If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, —his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:
Aa naho tsy mimpoly t’indaty: le ho sioña’e i fibara’ey; fa navoho’e ty fale’e vaho nihajarie’e;
13 But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:
Fa nihentseñe’e fialiañe mahafate, ampibelabelae’ afo o ana-pàle’eo.
14 Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:
Hehe t’ie tsongoen-tsihavokarañe, ie nampiareñe kilily vaho hiterake i remborake;
15 A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:
Nihaly kobon-dre naho nampigorabahe’e, vaho tafajorobo amy hinali’ey.
16 His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, —and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.
Toe hibalik’ an-doha’e avao ty fikitroha’e raty, vaho hivotrak’ an-kevo’e eo i nandovia’ey.
17 I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, —and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.
Andriañeko t’Iehovà ty amy havantaña’ey, ho bangoeko an-tsabo ty tahina’ Iehovà Andindimoneñe.
