Salamo 61

1 Janjiño ty koiko, ry Andrianañahare; haoño o halalikoo.

To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

2 Boak’ añ’olon-tane añe ty ikoihako Azo, naho opo ty troko; iaolò mb’an-­damilamy abo te amako.

From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

3 Amy te Ihe ro fipalirako, haboañe fatratse aolon-drafelahiko eo.

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4 Hitoboke an-kivoho’o ao nainai’e iraho; hipalirako añ’alo’ o ela’oo. Selà

I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

5 Fa jinanji’o o nifantàkoo ry Andrianañahare; tinolo’o ty lova’ o mpañeveñe amy tahina’oio.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

6 Tompeo andro ty andro’ i mpanjakay, ho tarirats’ an-tariratse o tao’eo.

You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

7 Hiambesatse añatrefan’ Añahare eo nainai’e; afantoho hañambeñe aze ty fiferenaiñañe naho ty hatò.

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

8 Le ho bangoeko an-tsabo nainai’e ty tahina’o, ie henefeko boak’ andro o nifantàkoo.

So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
