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.

For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

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

You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

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

who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

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

to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

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

They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide 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 out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

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

and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

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

and their tongues have set him at nothing, 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 alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

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

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