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.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

Hear my prayer, O 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 oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

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

He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
