¹I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

¹[Fitantaran'i Davida ny namonjen'Andriamanitra azy] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Nataon'i Davida, mpanompon'i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin'i Jehovah ny tenin'ity fihirana ity tamin'ny andro namonjen'i Jehovah azy tamin'ny tanan'ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin'ny tanan'i Saoly; dia hoy izy: mamiko indrindra Hianao, Jehovah Heriko ô.

²The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

²Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.

³I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

³Miantso an'i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin'ny fahavaloko.

⁴The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

⁴Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.

⁵The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

⁵Ny famatoran'ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana.[Heb: Sheola]

⁶In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

⁶Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an'i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

⁷Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin'ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.

⁸There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

⁸Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

⁹Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin'ny tongony.

¹⁰And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

¹⁰Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin'ny ela-drivotra Izy.

¹¹He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

¹¹Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.[Heb: aizin-drano]

¹²At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

¹²Ary teo amin'ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.

¹³The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

¹³Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.

¹⁴Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

¹⁴Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.

¹⁵Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

¹⁵Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin'ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon'ny fofonain'ny vavoronao.

¹⁶He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

¹⁶Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin'ny rano be Izy;

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁷Namonjy ahy tamin'ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin'izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny

¹⁸They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

¹⁸Nisakana ahy tamin'ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

¹⁹Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin'ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.

²⁰The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

²⁰Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan'ny tanako no namaliany ahy.

²¹For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²¹Fa nitandrina ny lalan'i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin'Andriamanitro;

²²For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

²²Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;

²³I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

²³Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon'ny fahotako;

²⁴Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁴Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan'ny tanako teo imasony.

²⁵With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

²⁵Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;

²⁶With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

²⁶Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina. [Heb: miolakolaka]

²⁷For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

²⁷Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.

²⁸For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

²⁸Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.

²⁹For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

²⁹Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

³⁰Raha ny amin'Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin'i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin'ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan'izay rehetra mialoka aminy.

³¹For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

³¹Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?

³²It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

³²Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.

³³He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

³³Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an'ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin'ny fitoerako avo.

³⁴He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

³⁴Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.

³⁵Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

³⁵Omenao ahy ny ampingan'ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.

³⁶Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

³⁶Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.

³⁷I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

³⁷Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.

³⁸I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

³⁸Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin'ny tongotro izy.

³⁹For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

³⁹Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.

⁴⁰Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴⁰Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

⁴¹Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin'i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.

⁴²Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

⁴²Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin'ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.

⁴³Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴³Mamonjy ahy amin'ny fifanoheran'ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan'ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.

⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

⁴⁴Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy. [Na: Ny olona re laza ihany aza, dia hafa firenena, mikoy ahy]

⁴⁵The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁵Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin'ny fiarovany mafy.

⁴⁶The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

⁴⁶Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,

⁴⁷It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

⁴⁷Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.

⁴⁸He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

⁴⁸Mamonjy ahy amin'ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin'izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin'ny olon-dozabe.

⁴⁹Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

⁴⁹Koa 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.

⁵⁰Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

⁵⁰Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an'ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin'ny voahosony, dia amin'i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
