Psalms 54

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahare ty amy tahina’oy, vaho meo-to amo haozara’oo.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

Ry Andrianañahare, janjiño ty halaliko, toloro ravembia o entam-bavakoo.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Miongake hiatreatre ahy ty ambahiny, paia’ o mitrotrofiakeo ty fiaiko, tsy nampiaoloe’ iareo t’i Andrianañahare. Selà

4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Inao! Mpañimb’ahy t’i Andrianañahare, Fiatoam-piaiko t’i Talè.

5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

Hafote’e amo mivoñoñe ahiko ty haratia’ iareo; Rotsaho iereo ami’ty figahiña’o.

6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,

Mañenga ama’o an-tsatrin-tro iraho, andriañeko i tahina’oy ry Iehovà, amy te ie ty soa;

7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!

Fa nafaha’e amako ze hene haemberañe, vaho nisambae’ o masokoo o rafelahikoo.
