Salamo 108

1 Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Andriamanitra ô, tafatoetra ny foko; Ny fanahiko no hihira sy hankalaza.

A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.

2 Mifohaza, ry valiha sy lokanga; hifoha maraina koa aho.

Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.

3 Hidera Anao eny amin’ ny firenena maro aho, Jehovah ô, Ary hankalaza Anao eny amin’ ny jentilisa.

I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.

4 Fa lehibe mihoatra ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; Ary mipaka eny amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.

For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.

5 Misandrata any ambonin’ ny lanitra Hianao, Andriamanitra ô; Ary aoka ho etỳ ambonin’ ny tany rehetra ny voninahitrao.

Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Mba hahafaka ny malalanao, Dia vonjeo amin’ ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.

Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.

7 Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: Hifaly Aho ka hizara an’ i Sekema, Ary ny lohasahan’ i Sokota horefesiko;

This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.

8 Ahy Gileada, Ahy Manase; Ary aron’ ny lohako Efraima; Tehim-panjakako Joda;

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9 Tavindranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no hanipazako ny kapako; noho ny amin’ i Filistia ho hihobiako.

Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

10 Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? Iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?

Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

11 Tsy Hianao va no efa nanary anay, Andriamanitra ô, Sady tsy mivoaka miaraka amin’ ny miaramilanay, Andriamanitra ô?

Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.

12 Vonjeo amin’ ny fahavalo izahay; Fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon’ ny olona.

Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

13 Andriamanitra no haharezan-tsika; Fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.

With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
