¹Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

¹[Ny fahatokiana an'Andriamanitra, Izay fototry ny soa, na dia tonga aza ny fahoriana sy ny fahafatesana] Miktama nataon'i Davida. Arovy aho, Andriamanitra ô, fa mialoka aminao aho.

²O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

²Hoy izaho ny amin'i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;

³But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

³Ary ny amin'ny olona masina ambonin'ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra. [Na: Dia izaho sy ny olona ambonin'ny tany, Ary ny olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra]

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

⁴Ho be ny fahorian'izay manova an'Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin'ny molotro ny anarany.

⁵The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁵Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.

⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁶Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin'ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.

⁷I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

⁷Hisaotra an'i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin'ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko. [Na: mamporisika][Heb: voako]

⁸I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁸Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo an-kavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

⁹Izany no ifalian'ny foko sy iravoravoan'ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.[Heb: voninahitro]

¹⁰For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

¹⁰Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin'ny lavaka Hianao.[Heb: Sheola][Heb: hahita][Na: ho tratry ny lò]Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.

¹¹Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

¹¹Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.
