¹The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

¹[Fahatokiana an'i Jehovah, Mpiaro sy Mpitahy ny olony] Nataon'i Davida Jehovah no fahazavako sy famonjena ahy; iza no hatahorako? Jehovah no fiarovana mafy ho an'ny aiko; iza no hangovitako?

²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

²Raha manatona ahy hihinana ny nofoko ny ratsy fanahy, izay fahavaloko sy rafilahiko, dia izy ihany no tafintohina ka lavo.

³Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

³Na dia misy antokony mitoby hiady amiko aza, tsy hatahotra ny foko; na dia misy ady mihatra amiko aza, dia hatoky ihany aho.

⁴One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

⁴Zavatra iray loha no nangatahiko tamin'i Jehovah, izany no hotadiaviko, dia ny hitoetra ao an-tranon'i Jehovah amin'ny andro rehetra hiainako, mba ho faly mijery ny fahasoavan'i Jehovah sy mandinika ny tempoliny.

⁵For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

⁵Fa hanafina ahy ao an-trano fialofany amin'ny andro fahoriana Izy; hampiery ahy amin'ny fierena ao an-dainy Izy; hanandratra ahy ho eny ambony vatolampy Izy.

⁶And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

⁶Koa dia hisandratra ambonin'ny fahavaloko manodidina ahy ny lohako, ka hanatitra fanatitra hihobiana ao an-dainy aho; hihira sy hankalaza an'i Jehovah aho.

⁷Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

⁷Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, fa mitaraina mafy aho; ary mamindrà fo amiko, ka valio aho.

⁸When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

⁸Raha hoy Hianao: tadiavonareo ny tavako, dia hoy ny navalin'ny foko: Eny, ny tavanao no tadiaviko, Jehovah ô;

⁹Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

⁹Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, aza mandroaka ny mpanomponao an-katezerana; efa famonjena ahy Hianao; aza manary na mahafoy ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy.

¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

¹⁰Fa ny raiko aman-dreniko efa nahafoy ahy; fa Jehovah kosa no mandray ahy. [Na: Fa na dia mahafoy ahy aza ny ray aman-dreniko, dia ho-raisin'i Jehovah aho]

¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

¹¹Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ary tariho amin'ny lalana marina aho noho ny fahavaloko.

¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

¹²Aza manolotra ahy ho amin'ny sitrapon'ny mpampahory ahy; fa vavolombelona mandainga sy izay mifofofofo loza no mitsangana hiampanga ahy.

¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

¹³Raha izay re aho no tsy nanantena hahita ny fahasoavan'i Jehovah amin'ny tanin'ny velona.Miandrasa an'i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an'i Jehovah.

¹⁴Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

¹⁴Miandrasa an'i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an'i Jehovah.
