Salamo 62

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-jedotona. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Andriamanitra tokoa no iantombenan’ ny fanahiko; avy aminy ny famonjena ahy.

For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.

2 Izy tokoa no vatolampiko sy famonjena ahy, dia fiarovana avo ho ahy ka tsy hangozohozo loatra aho.

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.

3 Mandra-pahoviana no hirohotanareo hamely olona sy handrodananareo rehetra azy toy ny manda mirona sy ny rova mihozongozona;

How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.

4 Misaina hanongana azy hiala amin’ ny voninahiny ireny; lainga no ifaliany, misaotra amin’ ny vavany izy, fa manozona amy ny fony. (Sela)

They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)

5 Miantombena amin’ Andriamanitra tokoa ianao, ry fanahiko; fa Izy no antenaiko.

Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.

6 Izy tokoa no vatolampiko sy famonjena ahy, dia fiarovana avo ho ahy, ka tsy mba hangozohozo aho.

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.

7 Andriamanitra no iankinan’ ny famonjena ahy sy ny voninahitro; ny vatolampiko mafy sy ny aroko dia ao amin’ Andriamanitra.

My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.

8 Matokia Azy mandrakariva ianareo, ry olona; loary eo anatrehany ny fonareo; Andriamanitra no aro ho antsika. (Sela)

My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)

9 Zava-poana tokoa ny ambany, ary lainga ny ambony; raha hatao amin’ ny mizana izy, dia maivana; zava-poana mihitsy izy.

Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

10 Aza matoky ny fanaovana an-keriny, ary aza miantehitra amin’ ny halatra; raha mitombo ny harena, dia aza anorenana ny fonareo.

Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.

11 Indray mandeha no nitenenan’ Andriamanitra; indroa no nandrenesako hoe: an’ Andriamanitra ny hery.

God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.

12 Ary Anao koa, ry Tompo ô, ny famindram-po, fa Hianao no mamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny asany avy.

You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
