Salamo 138

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

2 Hivavaka manandrify ny tempolinao masìna aho Ka hidera ny anaranao noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao; Fa efa nomenao voninahitra ny teninao ho ambonin’ ny anaranao rehetra.

and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

3 Tamin’ ny andro nitarainako dia namaly ahy Hianao; Nomenao fahasahiana aho ka nisy hery ny fanahiko.

When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

4 Jehovah ô, hidera Anao ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny tany, Fa handre ny tenin’ ny vavanao izy.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

5 Eny hihira ny amin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah izy; Fa lehibe ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

6 Fa na dia avo aza Jehovah dia mijery ny ambany toetra, Ary ny mpiavonavona fantany eny lavitra eny.

For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

7 Na dia handeha eo amin’ ny fahoriana aza aho dia hamelona ahy Hianao; Haninjitra ny tananao hanohitra ny fahatezeran’ ny fahavaloko Hianao Ary hamonjy ahy ny tananao ankavanana.

Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

8 Jehovah no hahatanteraka ny amiko; Jehovah ô, mandrakizay ny famindram-ponao; Aza mahafoy ny asan’ ny tananao.

The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
