Salamo 61

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

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

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

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

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

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

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

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

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

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
