< 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 are those who 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 help 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 cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Izaho nandry ka natory; nifoha aho, satria Jehovah no manohana ahy. (Sela)
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Tsy hatahotra olona alinalina aho, izay milahatra manodidina hamely ahy.
I will not be afraid of tens of 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 have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 An’ i Jehovah ny famonjena; Ho amin’ ny olonao anie ny fitahianao. (Sela)
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
