Salamo 64

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny feoko, raha mitaraina aho, Andriamanitra ô; arovy ny aiko amin’ ny tahotro ny fahavalo.

Unto the end, a psalm for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

2 Afeno aho tsy ho azon’ ny firaisan-tetiky ny ratsy fanahy, sy ny fitabataban’ ny mpanao ratsy,

Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

3 Izay mandranitra ny lelany ho tahaka ny sabatra, ka mikendry handefa ny zana-tsipìkany, dia teny mangidy.

For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

4 Mba hitifitra mangingina ny mahitsy; mitifitra azy tampoka izy ka tsy matahotra.

To shoot in secret the undefiled.

5 Hamafiny ny hevi-dratsiny; mifampitaona hanao fandri-totofana izy ka manao hoe: iza no hahita izany?

They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

6 Manao saim-petsy izy; omaniny tsara ny sain-dalina voaheviny; lalina ny ao anatin’ ny olombelona, dia ny fony.

They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

7 Mitifitra azy Andriamanitra; tampoka toy ny fiantefan’ ny zana-tsipìka no fahavoazany.

And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

8 Apotrany izy ka voasingotra ny lelany ihany; mandositra izay rehetra mahita azy.

And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

9 Dia matahotra ny olona rehetra ka manambara ny ataon’ Andriamanitra sady mandinika tsara ny asany.

And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.

10 Mifaly amin’ i Jehovah ny marina ka mialoka aminy; eny, mifaly tena ny mahitsy fo rehetra.

The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
