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 wilderness of Judah.” O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry land, and it is faint without water.
2 Toy izany no nijereko Anao tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, hahitako ny herinao sy ny voninahitrao.
As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
3 Fa tsara noho ny aina ny famindram-ponao; ny molotro hidera Anao.
Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
4 Toy izany no hisaorako Anao, raha mbola velona koa aho; amin’ ny anaranao no hanandratako ny tanako.
Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
5 Toy ny voky tsoka sy tavy no hahavokisan’ ny fanahiko; ary amin’ ny molotra falifaly no hideran’ ny vavako Anao.
As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
6 Raha mahatsiaro Anao eo am-pandriako aho, dia mieritreritra Anao amin’ ny fiambenan’ alina.
When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
7 Fa efa namonjy ahy Hianao, ary ao ambanin’ ny aloky ny elatrao no hihobiako.
Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
8 Mifikitra amiko ny fanahiko; manohana ahy ny tananao ankavanana.
My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
9 Fa ireny dia mitady ny aiko ka mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany; hiditra any ambanin’ ny tany izy;
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
10 Hatolotra ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy; ho anjaran’ ny amboahaolo izy.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey 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 shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.
