Salamo 43

1 Omeo rariny aho, Andriamanitra ô, ary alaharo ny teniko haharesy ny firenena tsy misy famindram-po; Vonjeo aho ho afaka amin’ ny lehilahy mpamitaka sy mpanao meloka.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

2 Fa Hianao no Andriamanitry ny heriko; Nahoana no manary ahy Hianao? Nahoana no mandeha mijoretra aho noho ny fampahorian’ ny fahavaloko?

For thou, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?

3 Ampandehano ny fahazavanao sy ny fahamarinanao; aoka hitarika ahy ireo ka hitondra ahy ho any an-tendrombohitrao masìna, dia ho any amin’ ny tabernakelinao.

Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have led me, and brought me to thy holy mountain, and to thy tabernacles.

4 Dia hankany amin’ ny alitaran’ Andriamanitra aho, dia any amin’ Andriamanitry ny fifaliako indrindra; ary hidera Anao amin’ ny lokanga aho, ry Andriamanitra ô, dia Andriamanitro.

And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to thee on the harp, O God, my God.

5 Nahoana no mitanondrika ianao ry fanahiko? ary nahoana no mitoloko ato anatiko ianao? manantenà an’ Andriamanitra, fa mbola hidera Azy ihany aho. Izy no famonjena ny tavako sady Andriamanitro.

Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
