Salamo 138

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

[A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee.

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.

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

In the day when I cried thou didst answer me, [and] strengthen me [with] strength in my soul.

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 thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

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

Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD.

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

Though the LORD [is] high, yet hath he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

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 I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

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

The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works thy own hands.
