I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.
6 Amako t’Iehovà, tsy ho hemban-draho, ino ty hanoa’ondatio?
The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
12 Niropak’ amako hoe rene-tantele iereo, f’ie hakipike hoe fatike mirehetse; toe iatoako ty tahina’Iehovà.
They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
13 Nanafasiotse ahy iereo hikorovohako, fe nañimb’ ahy t’Iehovà.
I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15 Inao ty feom-pirebehañe naho fandrombahañe an-kivoho’ o vañoñeo ao: mavitrike ty fitoloñam-pitàn-kavana’ Iehovà.
The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
16 Mizonjoñe ty fitàn-kavana’ Iehovà; mahimbañe ty fitàn-kavana’ Iehovà.
The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.
22 I vato nado’ o mpandrafitseoy le fa talèm-batolahy.
The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.
23 Sata’ Iehovà izay, le fiain-tane am-pihainon-tikañe.
This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.
24 Itoy ty andro tsinene’ Iehovà, antao hirebeke naho hifale ama’e.
This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
