My long for you to rescue me, I put my hope in your word.
82 Pahina ny masoko miandry ny teninao, Ka hoy izaho: Rahoviana no hampionona ahy Hianao?
My eyes pine away for your promise: saying, ‘When will you comfort me?’
83 Fa tahaka ny siny hoditra ao amin’ ny setroka aho. Nefa ny didinao tsy mba hadinoiko.
Though shrivelled like wine-skin in smoke, your statutes I have not forgotten.
84 Hoatrinona no andron’ ny mpanomponao? Rahoviana no hanao fitsarana amin’ izay manenjika ahy Hianao?
How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me?
85 Efa nanao longoa hianjerako ny mpirehareha, Dia izay tsy manaraka ny lalànao.
Proud people have dug for me pits people who do not conform to your law.
86 Marina ny didinao rehetra; Manenjika ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ireny; vonjeo aho.
All your commandments are trusty. With falsehood they harass me: help me.
87 Saiky laniny teo amin’ ny tany aho, Kanefa tsy mba mahafoy ny didinao.
They had nearly made an end of me, yet I did not forget your precepts.
88 Velomy aho araka ny famindram-ponao; Dia hitandrina ny teni-vavolombelona naloaky ny vavanao aho.
Spare me in your kindness, and I will observe the charge of your mouth.
89 Ho mandrakizay, Jehovah ô, No nanorenanao any an-danitra ny teninao.
Forever, O Lord, is your word fixed firmly in the heavens.
90 Hihatra amin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby ny fahamarinanao; Efa nampitoetra ny tany Hianao, ka, indro, mitoetra izy.
Your truth endures age after age; it is established on earth, and it stands.
91 Hanefa ny fitsaranao no itoerany mandraka androany; Fa mpanomponao ny zavatra rehetra.
By your appointment they stand this day, for all are your servants.
92 Raha tsy ny lalànao no niravoravoako, Dia maty tamin’ ny fahoriako aho.
Had not your law been my joy, in my misery then had I perished.
93 Tsy hohadinoiko mandrakizay ny didinao; Fa ireny no amelomanao ahy.
I will never forget your precepts, for through them you have put life in me.
94 Anao aho, vonjeo aho; Fa ny didinao no tadiaviko.
I am yours, O save me, for I give my mind to your precepts.
95 Miandry ahy ny ratsy fanahy mba hahafaty ahy; Mandinika ny teni-vavolombelonao aho
The wicked lay wait to destroy me, but I give heed to your charge.
96 Efa hitako fa manam-pahataperana avokoa ny tanteraka rehetra; Malalaka indrindra ny didinao.
I have seen a limit to all things: but your commandment is spacious exceedingly.
97 Endrey ny fitiavako ny lalànao! Fisaintsainako mandrakariva izany.
O how I love your law! All the day long I muse on it.
98 Ny didinao mampahahendry ahy mihoatra noho ny fahavaloko, Satria ato amiko mandrakizay ireny.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies: for it is mine forever.
99 Hendry noho ny mpampianatra ahy rehetra aho, Satria ny teni-vavolombelonao no fisaintsainako.

I refrain my foot from all wicked ways, that I may keep your word.
102 Tsy mba miala amin’ ny fitsipikao aho; Fa Hianao no mampianatra ahy.
I turn not aside from your judgments, for you yourself are my teacher.
103 Endrey ny hamamin’ ny teninao, raha andramako! Mihoatra noho ny tantely ato am-bavako aza!
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Ny didinao no nahazoako fahalalana; Izany no ankahalako ny lalam-pitaka rehetra.
Insight I win through your precepts, therefore every false way I hate.
105 Fanilon’ ny tongotro Sy fanazavana ny lalako ny teninao.
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
106 Efa nianiana aho fa hitandrina ny fitsipikao marina, Ka nefaiko izany.
I have sworn an oath, and will keep it, to observe your righteous judgments.
107 Ampahorina indrindra aho; Jehovah ô, velomy aho araka ny teninao.
I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
108 Jehovah ô, aoka anie mba hankasitrahanao ny fanati-tsitrapo aloaky ny vavako, Ary ampianaro ahy ny fitsipikao.
Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgments.
109 An-tenda ihany ny aiko mandrakariva; Kanefa tsy manadino ny lalànao aho.
My life is in ceaseless peril; but I do not forget your law.
110 Ny ratsy fanahy mamela-pandrika haningotra ahy; Kanefa tsy mania miala amin’ ny didinao aho.
The wicked set traps for me, yet I do not stray from your precepts.
111 Efa noraisiko ho lovako mandrakizay ny teni-vavolombelonao, Satria fifalian’ ny foko izany.
In your charges are my everlasting inheritance, they are the joy of my heart.
112 Apetrako ny foko hankatò ny didinao Mandrakizay hatramin’ ny farany.
I am resolved to perform your statutes forever, to the utmost.
113 Halako ny mpiroa saina; Fa ny lalànao no tiako.
I hate people of divided heart, but your law do I love.
114 Fiereko sy ampingako Hianao; Ny teninao no andrasako.
You are my shelter and shield: in your word do I hope.
115 Mialà amiko ianareo mpanao ratsy, Mba hitandremako ny didin’ Andriamanitro.
Begone, you wicked people, I will keep the commands of my God.
116 Tohàny aho araka ny teninao, mba ho velona, Ary aoka tsy ho menatra amin’ ny fanantenako aho.
Uphold me and spare me, as you have promised: O disappoint me not.
117 Tohàny aho mba ho voavonjy, Ka ho faly hijery ny didinao mandrakariva.
Hold me up, and I shall be saved: and your statutes shall be my unceasing delight.
118 Ataonao tsinontsinona izay rehetra mania amin’ ny didinao; Fa famitahan-tena ihany ny laingany.
All who swerve from your statutes you spurn: their cunning is in vain.
119 Efa nataonao fanary tain-drendrika ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin’ ny tany; Izany no itiavako ny teni-vavolombelonao.
All the wicked of earth you count as dross, therefore I love your charges.
120 Mipararetra ny nofoko ny fahatahorana Anao, Ary matahotra ny fitsaranao aho.
My flesh, for fear of you, shudders, and I stand in awe of your judgments.
121 Manaraka ny fitsipika sy ny fahamarinana aho; Aza manolotra ahy ho amin’ ny mpampahory ahy.
Justice and right have I practised, do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Iantohy mba ho soa ny mpanomponao; Aza avela hampahory ahy ny mpirehareha.
Be your servant’s surety for good, let not the proud oppress me.
123 Pahina ny masoko miandry ny famonjenao. Sy ny tenin’ ny fahamarinanao.
My eyes pine for your salvation, and for your righteous promise.

Your servant am I; instruct me, that I may know your charges.
126 Efa andro tokony hampisehoan’ i Jehovah ny heriny izao; Fa nandika ny lalànao ny olona.
It is time for the Lord to act: they have violated your law.
127 Izany no itiavako ny didinao mihoatra noho ny volamena, Eny, noho ny tena volamena aza.
Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
128 Izany no iheverako ny didy rehetra ho marina avokoa; Halako ny lalam-pitaka rehetra;
So by all your precepts I guide me, and every false way I hate.
129 Mahagaga ny teni-vavolombelonao, Ka dia mitandrina azy ny fanahiko.
Your decrees are wonderful, gladly I keep them.

Turn to me with your favour, as is just to those who love you.
133 Ampitoero eo amin’ ny teninao ny diako; Ary aza avela hanapaka ahy izay mety ho faharatsiana.

Shine with your face on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136 Rano mandriaka no mijononoka amin’ ny masoko Noho ny tsi-fitandreman’ ny olona ny lalànao.
My eyes run down with rills of water, because your law is not kept.
137 Marina Hianao, Jehovah ô, Ary mahitsy ny fitsipikao.
Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your ordinances.
138 Efa voadidinao amin’ ny fahamarinana Sy ny fahatokiana indrindra ny teni-vavolombelonao.
The laws you has ordered are just, and trusty exceedingly.
139 Efa maharitra aina ahy ny fahasaro-piaroko, Satria nanadino ny teninao ny mpandrafy ahy.
My jealousy has undone me, that my foes have forgotten your words.
140 Voazaha toetra tamin’ ny memy ny teninao, Ka dia tian’ ny mpanomponao.
Your word has been tested well; and your servant loves it.

144 Ny fahamarinan’ ny teni-vavolombelonao dia mandrakizay; Ampianaro aho, mba ho velona.
Right are your charges forever, instruct me that I may live.
145 Ny foko rehetra no nentiko nitaraina hoe: Valio aho, Jehovah ô; Ny didinao no hotandremako;
With my whole heart I cry; O answer me. I would keep your statutes, O Lord.
146 Nitaraina taminao aho nanao hoe Vonjeo aho, Dia hitandrina ny didinao.
I cry to you: O save me, and I will observe your charges.
147 Raha mbola tsy nazavaratsy aza ny andro, dia nitaraina aho; Ny teninao no andrasako.
Before dawn I cry for your help: in your word do I hope.
148 Nialoha ny fiambenana amin’ ny alina ny masoko, Mba hisaintsainako ny teninao.
Awake I meet the night-watches, to muse upon your sayings.
149 Henoy ny feoko araka ny famindram-ponao, Jehovah ô, Velomy aho araka ny fitsipikao.
Hear my voice in your kindness: O Lord, by your judgments revive me.
150 Efa mby akaiky izay fatra-panaraka ny ratsy, Dia izay manalavitra ny lalànao.
Near me are wicked tormentors, who are far from thoughts of your law;
151 Akaiky Hianao, Jehovah ô; Ary marina ny didinao rehetra.
but near, too, are you, O Lord, and all your commandments are trusty.
152 Efa fantatro ela tamin’ ny teni-vavolombelonao Fa nampitoerinao ho mandrakizay ireny.
Long have I known from your charges that you have founded them for all time.

Look on my misery, and rescue me; for I do not forget your law.
154 Soloy vava aho, ka vonjeo; Velomy aho araka ny teninao.
Defend my cause and redeem me: revive me, as you have promised.
155 Lavitra ny ratsy fanahy ny famonjena, Satria ny didinao tsy tadiaviny.
Salvation is far from the wicked, for their mind is not in your statutes.
156 Lehibe ny antranao, Jehovah ô; Velomy aho araka ny fitsipikao.
Great is your pity, O Lord: Revive me, as you have ordained.
157 Maro ny mpanenjika sy mpandrafy ahy; Tsy mba niala tamin’ ny teni-vavolombelonao aho.
My foes and tormentors are many, but I have not declined from your charges.
158 Mijery ny mpivadika aho, ka maharikoriko ahy ireny, Dia izay tsy nitandrina ny teninao.
I behold the traitors with loathing, for they do not observe your word.

Princes have harassed me wantonly: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 Faly aho noho ny teninao Tahaka ny mahazo babo be.
Over your word I rejoice as one who finds great spoil.
163 Halako ny lainga ka ataoko ho fahavetavetana; Ny lalànao no tiako.
Falsehood I hate and abhor, but your law do I love.
164 Impito isan’ andro no iderako Anao Noho ny fitsipikao marina.
Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
165 Be fiadanana izay tia ny lalànao, Ary tsy misy mahatafintohina azy.
Right well do they fare who love your law: they go on their way without stumbling.
166 Miandry ny famonjenao aho, Jehovah ô, Ka mankatò ny didinao.
I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
167 Mitandrina ny teni-vavolombelonao ny fanahiko, Ka tiako indrindra izy.
I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
168 Mitandrina ny didinao sy ny teni-vavolombelonao aho; Fa ny lalan-kalehako rehetra dia eo anatrehanao.
I observe your precepts and charges: all my ways are before you.
169 Aoka anie ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fitarainako, Jehovah ô; Ampianaro aho araka ny teninao.
Let my cry come before you, O Lord: give me insight, as you have promised.
170 Aoka anie ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fifonako; Vonjeo aho araka ny teninao.
Let my prayer enter into your presence: deliver me, as you have said.
171 Aoka hiboiboika fiderana ny molotro, Fa ampianarinao ahy ny didinao.
My lips shall be fountains of praise, that you teach me your statutes.
172 Hihira ny teninao ny lelako, Fa marina ny didinao rehetra.
My tongue shall sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
173 Aoka anie hamonjy ahy ny tananao; Fa efa nifidy ny didinao aho.
Let your hand be ready to help me, for your precepts have been my choice.
174 Efa manina ny famonjenao aho, Jehovah ô; Ary ny lalànao no firavoravoako.
I long, Lord, for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
175 Aoka anie ho velona ny fanahiko ka hidera Anao; Ary aoka anie hamonjy ahy ny fitsaranao.
Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
176 Efa nania aho; tadiavo ny mpanomponao toy ny fitady ondry very; Fa ny didinao tsy mba hadinoiko.
I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
