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! earnestly do I seek thee! My soul thirsteth, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry, thirsty land. where is no water!
2 Toy izany no nijereko Anao tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, hahitako ny herinao sy ny voninahitrao.
Thus I look toward thee in thy sanctuary, To behold thy power and thy glory!
3 Fa tsara noho ny aina ny famindram-ponao; ny molotro hidera Anao.
For thy loving-kindness is better than life; Therefore 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.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And with joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee,
6 Raha mahatsiaro Anao eo am-pandriako aho, dia mieritreritra Anao amin’ ny fiambenan’ alina.
When I think of thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.
7 Fa efa namonjy ahy Hianao, ary ao ambanin’ ny aloky ny elatrao no hihobiako.
For thou art my help, And in the shadow of thy wings I rejoice.
8 Mifikitra amiko ny fanahiko; manohana ahy ny tananao ankavanana.
My soul cleaveth to thee; Thy right hand holdeth me up.
9 Fa ireny dia mitady ny aiko ka mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany; hiditra any ambanin’ ny tany izy;
While they who seek to destroy my life Shall themselves go down into the depths of the earth.
10 Hatolotra ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy; ho anjaran’ ny amboahaolo izy.
They shall be given up to the sword, And be a portion 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; All that swear by him shall be honored; But the mouth of liars shall be stopped.
