Salamo 61

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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

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

I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge 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, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

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

May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

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

So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
