Salamo 54

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida, fony tonga ny Zifita ka nanao tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Tsy miery any aminay va Davida? Vonjeo amin’ ny anaranao aho, Andriamanitra ô, ary omeo rariny aho araka ny herinao.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 Andriamanitra ô, henoy ny fivavako; mihainoa ny tenin’ ny vavako.

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Fa olona hafa firenena no mitsangana hamely ahy, ary olon-dozabe no mitady ny aiko; tsy mihevitra an’ Andriamanitra ho eo anatrehany izy. (Sela)

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

4 Indro, Andriamanitra no Mpamonjy ahy; ny Tompo no Mpanohana ny fanahiko.

Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Hamaly ny ratsy ataon’ ny mpampahory ahy Izy; aoka ny fahamarinanao no handringananao azy.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Sitrapoko ihany no hanaterako fanatitra ho Anao; hidera ny anaranao aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara izy.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, for it is good.

7 Fa efa namonjy ahy ho afaka tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra Izy; ary ny masoko dia faly mijery ny amin’ ny fahavaloko.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
