Of David, when he feigned madness in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. I will bless the Lord at all times, in my mouth will his praise be forever.
2 Mirenge am’ Iehovà ty troko; ie ho janjiñe’ o tretram-poo le hifalea’e.
In the Lord will my heart make her boast, the humble will hear and be glad.

I sought the Lord, and, in answer, he saved me from all my terrors.
5 Niandra ama’e iereo le niloeloe, tsy ho kolopofen-kameñarañe ka ty tarehe’ iareo.
Look to him and you will be radiant, with faces unashamed.

The Lord’s angel encamps about those who fear him, and rescues them.
8 Tsopeho vaho mahaisaha te soa t’Iehovà; fale t’indaty mitsolok’ ama’e!
O taste and see that the Lord is good, happy those who take refuge in him.

Even young lions may be poor and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
11 Mb’etoa, ry anake, tsendreño; hatoroko anahareo ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà.
Come, children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Ia t’indaty misalala ho veloñe, naho mpitea andro, hahaisaha’e ty hasoa?
Which of you is desirous of life, loves many and happy days?

Then guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Iholiaro ty raty, le anò ty soa; mitsoeha filongoañe—le heaño.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Miatreke o vantañeo ty fihaino’ Iehovà, naho o fitoreo’eo o ravembia’eo.
The eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous, his ears are towards their cry for help.

The Lord sets his face against those who do evil, to root their memory out of the earth.
17 Mikaike, le mijanjiñe t’Iehovà, ie haha’e amo hasotriañe iabio.
When righteous cry, they are heard by the Lord, and he saves them from all their distresses.
18 Marine’ ty mikoretse añ’arofo t’Iehovà, vaho rombahe’e o demok’ an-trok’aoo.
