Salamo 61

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

“To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen 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 call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

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

For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.

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

Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

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

May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.

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

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
