Salamo 54

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

Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

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

O God, hear my prayer: 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 have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

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

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

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

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
