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 Melody of David, when he fled from before Absolom his son. Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;
2 Maro no milaza ny fanahiko hoe: tsy manam-pamonjena amin’ Andriamanitra izy. (Sela)
Multitudes, are saying of my soul, —No salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Kanjo Hianao, Jehovah ô, no ampinga manodidina ahy, Voninahitro sy mpanandratra ny lohako.
But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Amin’ ny feoko no iantsoako an’ i Jehovah, ary any an-tendrombohiny masìna no mamaly ahy Izy.
With my voice—unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Izaho nandry ka natory; nifoha aho, satria Jehovah no manohana ahy. (Sela)
I, laid me down and slept, —I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!
6 Tsy hatahotra olona alinalina aho, izay milahatra manodidina hamely ahy.
I will not be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.
7 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; vonjeo aho, Andriamanitro ô; fa efa namely ny takolaky ny fahavaloko rehetra Hianao; ny nifin’ ny ratsy fanahy novakivakinao.
Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.
8 An’ i Jehovah ny famonjena; Ho amin’ ny olonao anie ny fitahianao. (Sela)
To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. (Selah)
