They are cold and unfeeling, but I love your law.
71 Soa ihany aho nampahorina, Mba hianarako ny didinao.
The suffering I went through was good for me, so I could think about what you have stipulated.
72 Ny lalàn’ ny vavanao no mahatsara ahy Mihoatra noho ny volamena sy ny volafotsy tsy omby arivo.
What you tell me to do is worth more to me than much gold and silver. Yodh

80 Aoka ho marina tsara ny foko amin’ ny fitanana ny didinao, Mba tsy ho menatra aho.
May I be innocent in the way I keep your rules so that I won't be ashamed. Kaph
81 Ritra ny aiko, satria manina ny famonjenao aho; Ny teninao no andrasako.
I'm exhausted waiting for you to save me, but my hope is in your word.
82 Pahina ny masoko miandry ny teninao, Ka hoy izaho: Rahoviana no hampionona ahy Hianao?
I strain my eyes looking for you to keep your promises, asking “When will you comfort me?”
83 Fa tahaka ny siny hoditra ao amin’ ny setroka aho. Nefa ny didinao tsy mba hadinoiko.

84 Hoatrinona no andron’ ny mpanomponao? Rahoviana no hanao fitsarana amin’ izay manenjika ahy Hianao?
How long do I have to wait before you punish my persecutors?
85 Efa nanao longoa hianjerako ny mpirehareha, Dia izay tsy manaraka ny lalànao.

86 Marina ny didinao rehetra; Manenjika ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ireny; vonjeo aho.
All your commands are trustworthy. Help me against these people who persecute me with their lies!
87 Saiky laniny teo amin’ ny tany aho, Kanefa tsy mba mahafoy ny didinao.
They have almost killed me, but I have not given up on what you say.
88 Velomy aho araka ny famindram-ponao; Dia hitandrina ny teni-vavolombelona naloaky ny vavanao aho.
Since you love me with your trustworthy love, don't let me die, so I can go on following the instructions you have given. Lamedh
89 Ho mandrakizay, Jehovah ô, No nanorenanao any an-danitra ny teninao.
Your word, Lord, lasts forever. It stands firm in the heavens.

Your faithfulness lasts for all generations, as permanent as the earth you created.
91 Hanefa ny fitsaranao no itoerany mandraka androany; Fa mpanomponao ny zavatra rehetra.
Your judgments stand—they are as true today as ever—for everything serves your will.
92 Raha tsy ny lalànao no niravoravoako, Dia maty tamin’ ny fahoriako aho.
If I didn't love your teachings, my suffering would have killed me.
93 Tsy hohadinoiko mandrakizay ny didinao; Fa ireny no amelomanao ahy.
I will never forget your instructions, for through them you give me life.
94 Anao aho, vonjeo aho; Fa ny didinao no tadiaviko.

Even though wicked people are waiting to ambush and kill me, I will focus my mind on what you say.
96 Efa hitako fa manam-pahataperana avokoa ny tanteraka rehetra; Malalaka indrindra ny didinao.

I even understand more than the elders because I follow your directions.
101 Efa narovako ny tongotro tsy ho amin’ izay lalàn-dratsy, Mba hitandremako ny teninao.
I avoid any course of action that leads to evil, because I want to remain faithful to your word.
102 Tsy mba miala amin’ ny fitsipikao aho; Fa Hianao no mampianatra ahy.
I have not disregarded your instructions because you yourself taught me what to do.
103 Endrey ny hamamin’ ny teninao, raha andramako! Mihoatra noho ny tantely ato am-bavako aza!
Your words taste so sweet to me! They are sweeter than honey to my mouth.
104 Ny didinao no nahazoako fahalalana; Izany no ankahalako ny lalam-pitaka rehetra.
I gain understanding from what you say, so I hate any way of life that's just a lie. Nun
105 Fanilon’ ny tongotro Sy fanazavana ny lalako ny teninao.
Your word is a lamp that shows me where to walk, it's a light for my path.

My life is always at risk, but I will not forget your law.
110 Ny ratsy fanahy mamela-pandrika haningotra ahy; Kanefa tsy mania miala amin’ ny didinao aho.
Wicked people have set a trap for me, but I will not stray from your commandments.

117 Tohàny aho mba ho voavonjy, Ka ho faly hijery ny didinao mandrakariva.
Support me, so I can be saved and always pay attention to your instructions.
118 Ataonao tsinontsinona izay rehetra mania amin’ ny didinao; Fa famitahan-tena ihany ny laingany.
You reject all those who don't follow your instructions—they're fooling themselves by living a lie.
119 Efa nataonao fanary tain-drendrika ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin’ ny tany; Izany no itiavako ny teni-vavolombelonao.
You treat the wicked people on earth as something worthless to be discarded; therefore I love your laws.

127 Izany no itiavako ny didinao mihoatra noho ny volamena, Eny, noho ny tena volamena aza.
This is why I love your commandments more than gold, more than the finest gold.
128 Izany no iheverako ny didy rehetra ho marina avokoa; Halako ny lalam-pitaka rehetra;

135 Ampamirapirato amin’ ny mpanomponao ny tavanao; Ary ampianaro ahy ny didinao.
Please look favorably on me, your servant, teach me what I should do.
136 Rano mandriaka no mijononoka amin’ ny masoko Noho ny tsi-fitandreman’ ny olona ny lalànao.
My tears stream down as I weep for those who don't keep your law. Tsadhe
137 Marina Hianao, Jehovah ô, Ary mahitsy ny fitsipikao.
Lord, you are right, and what you decide is just!
138 Efa voadidinao amin’ ny fahamarinana Sy ny fahatokiana indrindra ny teni-vavolombelonao.
You have given your instructions which are fair and totally trustworthy.
139 Efa maharitra aina ahy ny fahasaro-piaroko, Satria nanadino ny teninao ny mpandrafy ahy.
My devotion is burning me up inside because my enemies ignore your words.
140 Voazaha toetra tamin’ ny memy ny teninao, Ka dia tian’ ny mpanomponao.
Your promises have been proved true, and that's why I, your servant, love them.
141 Kely aho ka natao ho tsinontsinona; Nefa tsy hadinoiko ny didinao.
I may be unimportant and looked down on, but I don't forget your commandments.
142 Ny fahamarinanao dia fahamarinana mandrakizay, Ary marina ny lalànao.
Your goodness and justice last forever; and your law is the truth.
143 Fahoriana sy fahaterena no nahazo ahy; Ny didinao no firavoravoako.
When I have problems and sadness, your commands make me happy.
144 Ny fahamarinan’ ny teni-vavolombelonao dia mandrakizay; Ampianaro aho, mba ho velona.
Your laws are always right; help me to understand what they mean so I can live. Qoph
145 Ny foko rehetra no nentiko nitaraina hoe: Valio aho, Jehovah ô; Ny didinao no hotandremako;
My whole being is crying out! Lord, please answer me! I will follow your instructions.
146 Nitaraina taminao aho nanao hoe Vonjeo aho, Dia hitandrina ny didinao.
I pray to you, asking, “Please save me!” so I can do what you say.
147 Raha mbola tsy nazavaratsy aza ny andro, dia nitaraina aho; Ny teninao no andrasako.
I get up before dawn, and call out to you for help and put my hope in your word.
148 Nialoha ny fiambenana amin’ ny alina ny masoko, Mba hisaintsainako ny teninao.
During the night I stay awake, meditating on your word.
149 Henoy ny feoko araka ny famindram-ponao, Jehovah ô, Velomy aho araka ny fitsipikao.
Listen to what I have to say, Lord, because of your trustworthy love. Keep me alive, Lord, because you always do what's right.
150 Efa mby akaiky izay fatra-panaraka ny ratsy, Dia izay manalavitra ny lalànao.
Evil people come running to attack me—they totally disregard your law.
151 Akaiky Hianao, Jehovah ô; Ary marina ny didinao rehetra.
But you, Lord, are close beside me; all your commandments are true.
152 Efa fantatro ela tamin’ ny teni-vavolombelonao Fa nampitoerinao ho mandrakizay ireny.
Long ago I realized that your laws will last forever. Resh
153 Jereo ny fahoriako, ka vonjeo aho; Fa ny lalànao tsy mba hadinoiko.
Please look at my suffering and save me! I have not forgotten your teachings.
154 Soloy vava aho, ka vonjeo; Velomy aho araka ny teninao.
Plead my case, and save me as you promised! Let me live!
155 Lavitra ny ratsy fanahy ny famonjena, Satria ny didinao tsy tadiaviny.
Wicked people can't be saved, because they don't care about what you say.
156 Lehibe ny antranao, Jehovah ô; Velomy aho araka ny fitsipikao.
Lord, your mercy is so great! Because you are always fair, please let me live!
157 Maro ny mpanenjika sy mpandrafy ahy; Tsy mba niala tamin’ ny teni-vavolombelonao aho.
Despite the many people who persecute and mistreat me, I have not strayed from your laws.
158 Mijery ny mpivadika aho, ka maharikoriko ahy ireny, Dia izay tsy nitandrina ny teninao.
