Salamo 63
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida, fony tany an-efitr’ i Joda izy. Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitro Hianao; mitady Anao fatratra aho; mangetaheta Anao ny fanahiko, maniry Anao ny nofoko, eto amin’ ny tany maina sy mangentana tsy misy rano;
A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.
2 Toy izany no nijereko Anao tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, hahitako ny herinao sy ny voninahitrao.
I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.
3 Fa tsara noho ny aina ny famindram-ponao; ny molotro hidera Anao.
Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.
4 Toy izany no hisaorako Anao, raha mbola velona koa aho; amin’ ny anaranao no hanandratako ny tanako.
I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.
5 Toy ny voky tsoka sy tavy no hahavokisan’ ny fanahiko; ary amin’ ny molotra falifaly no hideran’ ny vavako Anao.
You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.
6 Raha mahatsiaro Anao eo am-pandriako aho, dia mieritreritra Anao amin’ ny fiambenan’ alina.
I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.
7 Fa efa namonjy ahy Hianao, ary ao ambanin’ ny aloky ny elatrao no hihobiako.
For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.
8 Mifikitra amiko ny fanahiko; manohana ahy ny tananao ankavanana.
I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.
9 Fa ireny dia mitady ny aiko ka mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany; hiditra any ambanin’ ny tany izy;
Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.
10 Hatolotra ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy; ho anjaran’ ny amboahaolo izy.
They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.
11 Fa ny mpanjaka hifaly amin’ Andriamanitra; ho ravoravo izay rehetra mianiana aminy; fa hakombona ny vavan’ izay rehetra mandainga.
But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
