Salamo 40
1 Nitamàko am-pahaliñisañe t’Iehovà, le nitokilaña’e, vaho jinanji’e ty fitoreoko.
For the music director. A psalm of David. I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
2 Naaka’e an-koboñe namparikoriko, naho boak’ an-dietse nipaletroke, vaho nampitongoà’e ambone lamilamy eo o tombokoo; le nalaha’e o liakoo.
He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
3 Napo’e am-bavako ao ty sabo vao, fijejoañe aman’Añaharen-tikañe; maro ty hahaoniñe le hañeveñe, vaho hitsolok’ am’ Iehovà.
He gave me a new song to sing, a song of praise to our God. Many people will see and be in awe, and they will put their trust in him.
4 Haha ty manao Iehovà ho fiatoa’e, naho tsy mitolike mb’amo mpirengevokeo, vaho tsy mitsile mb’an-dremborake.
Happy are those who trust in the Lord, who do not look for help from the arrogant or from those who worship idols.
5 Maro, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, o fitoloña’o fanjàkao, naho ty fivetsevetse’o anay, tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo! Naho nitaroñeko naho nilañoneko, mbe mandikoatse ze mete ho talilieñe.
Lord my God, you have done so many wonderful things for us, and you have so many plans for us. No one compares to you. I want to tell all that you've done—blessings too many to count.
6 Tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo naho o enga-mahakamao; sinoka’o o sofikoo; tsy nipaia’o ty engan-kolorañe ndra ty engan-kakeo.
You don't want sacrifices and offerings. Now you have helped me understand—you're not asking for burnt offerings or sin offerings.
7 Le hoe raho: Intoy iraho, homb’eo, fa nisokireñe am-boke-pelek’ ao;
Then I said, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.
8 Noko, ry Andrianañahareko, ty mitoloñe amo satrin’arofo’oo; eka, an-troko ato o Tsara’oo.
I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”
9 Fa nitaroneko am-pivori-bey ao ty talily soan-kavantañañe; tsy ho sebañeko o soñikoo, ry Iehovà, Ihe ro maharofoanañe.
I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.
10 Tsy naetako an-troko ao ty havantaña’o; fa nitaroñeko ty figahiña’o naho ty fandrombaha’o; vaho tsy nakafiko amy fivori-beiy ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
I have not kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.
11 Ry Iehovà ko hazoñeñ’ amako ty fitretreza’o; añaro ahy nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.
12 Miarikoboñe ahy ty haratiañe tsifotofoto; miambotrak’ amako o hakeokoo, le tsy mahafiandra, ie maro te amo volon-dohakoo, vaho milesa ty troko.
For I'm experiencing so many problems—I can't even count them! My sins have piled up so high I can't see over them. They're more than the number of hairs on my head! I feel like giving up!
13 Ho no’o abey ry Iehovà ty hamotsotse ahy; malisà ry Iehovà hañolotse ahy,
Lord, please save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
14 Le aharò salareñe naho meñareñe o mipay ty fiaiko hasintake; ampiamboho vaho injeo o te hijoy ahio.
Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
15 Ehe ampidabao an-kenatse ze manao amako ty hoe: Hiy! Hiy!
May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
16 Hirebeke naho hifale ze mipay Azo, vaho hitolon-kanao ty hoe o mpitea i fandrombaha’oio: Onjoneñe t’Iehovà. 17 Aa kanao rarake naho misotry iraho, ee t’ie ho vetsevetse’ i Talè; Ihe ro mpañimba naho mpañaha ahy, ry Andrianañahareko; ko mihenekeneke.
But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord is great!”
As for me, I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. Help me! Save me! My God, please don't wait!
