Salamo 54

1 Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahare ty amy tahina’oy, vaho meo-to amo haozara’oo.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

2 Ry Andrianañahare, janjiño ty halaliko, toloro ravembia o entam-bavakoo.

Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Miongake hiatreatre ahy ty ambahiny, paia’ o mitrotrofiakeo ty fiaiko, tsy nampiaoloe’ iareo t’i Andrianañahare. Selà

For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Inao! Mpañimb’ahy t’i Andrianañahare, Fiatoam-piaiko t’i Talè.

Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

5 Hafote’e amo mivoñoñe ahiko ty haratia’ iareo; Rotsaho iereo ami’ty figahiña’o.

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 Mañenga ama’o an-tsatrin-tro iraho, andriañeko i tahina’oy ry Iehovà, amy te ie ty soa;

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 Fa nafaha’e amako ze hene haemberañe, vaho nisambae’ o masokoo o rafelahikoo.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
