¹And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

¹[Hira fisaorana nataon'i Davida noho ny nandreseny ny fahavalony rehetra] Ary Davida nanao izao fihirana izao ho an'i Jehovah tamin'ny andro namonjen'i Jehovah azy tamin'ny tanan'ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin'ny tànan'i Saoly,

²And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

²ka hoy izy: Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy,

³The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

³Andriamanitra vatolampiko, Izy no ialofako, Ampingako sy tandroko famonjena Izy ary fiarovana avo ho ahy sy fandosirako; Ry Mpamonjy ahy, mahafaka ahy amin'ny fampahoriana Hianao.

⁴I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

⁴Miantso an'i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin'ny fahavaloko.

⁵When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

⁵Fa nihodidina tamiko ny onjan'ny fahafatesana. Ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.

⁶The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

⁶Ny famatoran'ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana.[Heb. Sheola]

⁷In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

⁷Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an'i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako dia efa tonga eo an-tsofiny.

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

⁸Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fiorenan'ny lanitra nihorohoro, eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.

⁹There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

⁹Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin'ny tongony.

¹¹And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

¹¹Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina, eny, niseho teo amin'ny ela-drivotra Izy.

¹²And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹²Efa nanao ny maizina ho tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia fivorian-drano sy rahona matevina

¹³Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

¹³Ary avy teo amin'ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.

¹⁴The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

¹⁴Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.

¹⁵And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

¹⁵Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.

¹⁶And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁶Dia hita ny fitoeran-dranomasina, ary niseho ny fanambanin'ny tany, noho ny teny mafy nataon'i Jehovah, noho ny fifofofofon'ny fofonain'ny vavorony.

¹⁷He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

¹⁷Naninjitra ny tànany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin'ny rano be Izy.

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁸Namonjy ahy tamin'ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin'izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.

¹⁹They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

¹⁹Nisakana ahy tamin'ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.

²⁰He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin'ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.

²¹The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

²¹Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan'ny tanako no namaliany ahy.

²²For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²Fa nitandrina ny lalan'i Jehovah aho ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin'Andriamanitro;

²³For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²³Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;

²⁴I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

²⁴Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon'ny fahotako;

²⁵Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

²⁵Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.

²⁶With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.

²⁶Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;

²⁷With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavory.

²⁷Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.[Heb. miolakolaka]

²⁸And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

²⁸Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.

²⁹For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

²⁹Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.

³⁰For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

³⁰Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; Ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

³¹Raha ny amin'Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; Ny tenin'i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin'ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan'izay rehetra mialoka aminy.

³²For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

³²Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?

³³God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

³³Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin'ny lalany Izy.

³⁴He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

³⁴Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an'ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin'ny fitoerako avo Izy.

³⁵He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

³⁵Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.

³⁶Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

³⁶Omenao ahy ny ampingan'ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.

³⁷Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

³⁷Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.

³⁸I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

³⁸Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mandripaka azy; Ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalany ritrany.

³⁹And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

³⁹Mandringana sy mandripaka azy aho, ka tsy maharina izy; Lavo eo ambanin'ny tongotro izy.

⁴⁰For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

⁴⁰Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.

⁴¹Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴¹Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

⁴²Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an'i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.

⁴³Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

⁴³Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.

⁴⁴Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

⁴⁴Mamonjy ahy amin'ny fifanoheran'ny oloko Hianao sy miaro ahy ho lohan'ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.

⁴⁵Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

⁴⁵Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.

⁴⁶Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁶Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin'ny fiarovany mafy.[Izahao Sal. xviii.46. Ny dikan'ny teny Hebreo eto dia misikina avy ao, etc]

⁴⁷The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

⁴⁷Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,

⁴⁸It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.

⁴⁸Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,

⁴⁹And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

⁴⁹Dia Ilay mitondra ahy ho afaka amin'ny fahavaloko; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin'izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao ary mamonjy ahy amin'ny olon-dozabe;

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

⁵⁰Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin'ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an'ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin'ny voahosony, dia amin'i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.

⁵¹He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

⁵¹Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an'ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin'ny voahosony, dia amin'i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
