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, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.

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

As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,

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

for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.

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

So, while I live, I will bless you, and 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.

As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.

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

I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on 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 joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.

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

I cling close after 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 after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,

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

given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.

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 who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.
