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 the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!

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

How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering 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 study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.

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

My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.

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

From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.

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

Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!

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

Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!

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

Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.

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

To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
