Salamo 28

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

“A psalm of David.” To thee do I cry, O LORD! O my rock! be not silent to me, Lest, if thou answer me not, I become like those who go down to the pit!

2 Mihainoa ny feon’ ny fifonako, raha mitaraina aminao aho, raha manandratra ny tanako ho amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna indrindra aho.

Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most holy sanctuary!

3 Aza atao indray manakipaka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanao meloka aho, fa ireny dia milaza fihavanana amin’ ny namany, kanjo ratsy no ao am-pony.

Draw me not away with the impious, and with evil-doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts!

4 Manomeza azy araka ny asany sy ny faharatsian’ ny ataony; eny, manomeza azy araka ny vitan’ ny tànany, valio izy araka izay iendrehany.

Give them according to their deeds, and the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them their desert!

5 Fa tsy mihevitra ny asan’ i Jehovah, na ny vitan’ ny tànany, izy, dia horavan’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy haoriny.

For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again build them up.

6 Isaorana anie Jehovah, fa efa nihaino ny feon’ ny fifonako Izy.

Praised be the LORD, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications!

7 Jehovah no heriko sy ampingako; izy no nitokian’ ny foko, ka voavonjy aho; dia mifaly ny foko, ka ny hirako no hiderako Azy.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will praise him.

8 Jehovah no heriny, ary Izy no fiarovana mafy hamonjena ny voahosony.

Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of his anointed.

9 Vonjeo ny olonao, ary tahio ny lovanao; andraso izy, ka tezao mandrakizay.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; Feed them also, and build them up for ever!
