< Psalms 16 >
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Ho be ny fahorian’ izay manova an’ Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin’ ny molotro ny anarany.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol )
Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin’ ny lavaka Hianao. (Sheol )
11 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
