Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,

2 So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.

3 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.

4 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.

Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,

6 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.

ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.

7 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.

8 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.

Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.

9 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.

Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.

11 And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!

Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.
