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. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

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

I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

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

For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

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

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.

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

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

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

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete 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 also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.

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

Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led me unto Edom?

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

Hast not thou cast us off, O God? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

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

Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.

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

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
