Salamo 54

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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments A psalm 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 by thy strength defend my cause!

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 enemies have risen up against me, And oppressors seek my life; They have not set God before their eyes. (Pause)

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

Behold! God is my helper; The Lord is the support of my life.

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

He will repay evil to my enemies; For thy truth's sake, O God! cut them off!

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

With a willing heart will I sacrifice to thee; I will praise thy name, O LORD! for it is good;

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

For thou hast delivered me from all trouble, So that my eye hath looked with joy upon my enemies!
