< Salamo 3 >
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida, fony izy nandositra an’ i Absaloma zanany. Jehovah ô, akory izato hamaroan’ ny mampahory ahy! Maro no mitsangana hanohitra ahy.
[A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
2 Maro no milaza ny fanahiko hoe: tsy manam-pamonjena amin’ Andriamanitra izy. (Sela)
Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
3 Kanjo Hianao, Jehovah ô, no ampinga manodidina ahy, Voninahitro sy mpanandratra ny lohako.
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Amin’ ny feoko no iantsoako an’ i Jehovah, ary any an-tendrombohiny masìna no mamaly ahy Izy.
I cried out to the LORD with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Izaho nandry ka natory; nifoha aho, satria Jehovah no manohana ahy. (Sela)
I lay down and slept. I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Tsy hatahotra olona alinalina aho, izay milahatra manodidina hamely ahy.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; vonjeo aho, Andriamanitro ô; fa efa namely ny takolaky ny fahavaloko rehetra Hianao; ny nifin’ ny ratsy fanahy novakivakinao.
Arise, LORD. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 An’ i Jehovah ny famonjena; Ho amin’ ny olonao anie ny fitahianao. (Sela)
Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
