Salamo 54

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

To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us? O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?

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

O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;

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

For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life;

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

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

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 praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;

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

For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me, —And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.
