Salamo 61

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

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, 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 end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place 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 hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

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

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

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

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
