Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida, fony tonga ny Zifita ka nanao tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Tsy miery any aminay va Davida? Vonjeo amin’ ny anaranao aho, Andriamanitra ô, ary omeo rariny aho araka ny herinao.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Andriamanitra ô, henoy ny fivavako; mihainoa ny tenin’ ny vavako.

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

Fa olona hafa firenena no mitsangana hamely ahy, ary olon-dozabe no mitady ny aiko; tsy mihevitra an’ Andriamanitra ho eo anatrehany izy. (Sela)

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Indro, Andriamanitra no Mpamonjy ahy; ny Tompo no Mpanohana ny fanahiko.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Hamaly ny ratsy ataon’ ny mpampahory ahy Izy; aoka ny fahamarinanao no handringananao azy.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

Sitrapoko ihany no hanaterako fanatitra ho Anao; hidera ny anaranao aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara izy.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Fa efa namonjy ahy ho afaka tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra Izy; ary ny masoko dia faly mijery ny amin’ ny fahavaloko.
