A psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out. I will praise Yahweh at all times, his praise will always be in my mouth.

I sought Yahweh and he answered me, and he gave me victory over all my fears.
5 Niandra ama’e iereo le niloeloe, tsy ho kolopofen-kameñarañe ka ty tarehe’ iareo.
Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.

11 Mb’etoa, ry anake, tsendreño; hatoroko anahareo ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà.
Come, sons, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Ia t’indaty misalala ho veloñe, naho mpitea andro, hahaisaha’e ty hasoa?
What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Afofio ami’ty raty ty famele’o, naho o soñi’oo tsy hivolam-pìtake.
Then keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies.
14 Iholiaro ty raty, le anò ty soa; mitsoeha filongoañe—le heaño.
