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.

Judge me, O God! and defend my cause against a merciless nation! Deliver me from unjust and deceitful men!

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

Thou art the God of my refuge: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?

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.

O send forth thy light and thy truth; let them guide me; Let them lead me to thy holy mountain, and to thy dwelling-place!

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.

Then will I go to the altar of God, To the God of my joy and exultation; Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, 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.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
