Salamo 3
1 Ry Iehovà, Akore ty fitomboa’ o mpamorefore ahikoo! Maro ty miongake hiatreatre ahy.
“A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.” How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me!
2 Lako ty manao ty hoe ty amako: Tsy ama’e ty fandrombahan’ Añahare. Selà
How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! (Pause)
3 Fa Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro kalan-defo mañohoñ’ ahy, ty engeko naho ty Mpampiandra ty lohako.
But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
4 Ie koiheko am-peo t’Iehovà, le janjiñe’e amy vohi’e miavakey. Selà
I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. (Pause)
5 Màndre iraho vaho miroro; tsekake amy te mpañimba ahy t’Iehovà.
I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Tsy hembañako i lahiale miarikoboñe hiatreatre ahikoy.
I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
7 Miongaha, ry Iehovà! Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahareko, fa fonga tinampifi’o ty valañorà’ o rafelahikoo; vaho pinekapeka’o ty nife’ o lo-tserekeo.
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked.
8 Am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe; naho am’ondati’oo ty fitahia’o. Selà
Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! (Pause)
