Salamo 61

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny fitarainako, Andriamanitra ô; tandremo ny fivavako.

Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

2 Any am-paran’ ny tany no hiantsoako Anao raha reraka ny foko; ento aho ho any amin’ ny vatolampy izay avo ka tsy tratro;

From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Fa aroko Hianao sy tilikambo mafy handosirako ny fahavalo.

For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Aoka hitoetra ao an-tranonao mandrakizay aho; aoka hialoka ao ambanin’ ny fanomban’ ny elatrao aho,

I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. (Selah)

5 Fa Hianao, Andriamanitra ô efa nandre ny voadiko; efa nomenao ahy ny lovan’ izay matahotra ny anaranao.

For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

6 Halavao ny andron’ ny mpanjaka; aoka ny taonany hahatratra ny taranaka maro.

You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7 Aoka hitoetra eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay izy; famindram-po sy fahamarinana no tendreo hiaro azy;

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 Ka dia izany no hankalazako ny anaranao mandrakizay, mba hanefako isan’ andro ny voadiko.

So will I sing praise to your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
