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.

For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God; give ear 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, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

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

He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

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

I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, 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 rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
