Salamo 54

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

For the end, amongst Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.

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

O God, hear my prayer; listen 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 have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

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

For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

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

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

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

I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

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

For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
