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.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.

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

Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.

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

Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.

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

To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.

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

They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, 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 haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.

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

But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.

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

They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.

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

And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.

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

But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
