Salamo 52

1 O Fanalolahio, ino ty firoharohà’o hatsivokarañe? Lomoñandro ty ­fiferenaiñan’ Añahare.

TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

2 Mikilily ­fandrotsahañe ty famele’o, manahake ty fiharatse masioñe; ty mpamañahy tia.

Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

3 Tea’o ty raty te ami’ty soa; i lañitsey ta te hivolan-to. Selà

You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 No’o ze atao fivolan-katramoañe, ty fameleke mamañahy tia.

You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

5 Aa le harotsan’Añahare kitro-katroke, ho sintone’e, le hapitso’e amy kiboho’oy, vaho hombota’e an-tanen-kaveloñe. Selà

Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Ho isa’ o vantañeo, naho hañeveñe vaho hiankahake ty hoe:

And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

7 Hehe t’indaty tsy nanao an’Andrianañahare ho fipalira’e; fe ty habei’ o vara’eo ty niatoa’e, vaho o fikinia’eo ty nihaozara’e.

“Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

8 Aa naho izaho, le hoe sakoa mandrevake añ’anjomban’Añahare ao; iatoako nainai’e donia ty fiferenaiñan’ Añahare,

And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

9 Andriañeko nainai’e irehe, amy te Ihe ty nanao izay, vaho ho tamaeko i tahina’oy ie ty soa añatrefa’ o noro’oo.

I thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
