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 by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 Toy izany no nijereko Anao tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, hahitako ny herinao sy ny voninahitrao.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

3 Fa tsara noho ny aina ny famindram-ponao; ny molotro hidera Anao.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 Toy izany no hisaorako Anao, raha mbola velona koa aho; amin’ ny anaranao no hanandratako ny tanako.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Toy ny voky tsoka sy tavy no hahavokisan’ ny fanahiko; ary amin’ ny molotra falifaly no hideran’ ny vavako Anao.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 Raha mahatsiaro Anao eo am-pandriako aho, dia mieritreritra Anao amin’ ny fiambenan’ alina.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

7 Fa efa namonjy ahy Hianao, ary ao ambanin’ ny aloky ny elatrao no hihobiako.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8 Mifikitra amiko ny fanahiko; manohana ahy ny tananao ankavanana.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

9 Fa ireny dia mitady ny aiko ka mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany; hiditra any ambanin’ ny tany izy;

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Hatolotra ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy; ho anjaran’ ny amboahaolo izy.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

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. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
