Salamo 63

1 Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,

A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

2 Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

3 Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.

For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

4 Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.

6 ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.

When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

7 Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

8 Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;

But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

10 Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.

11 Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
