¹Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

¹[Fitarainan'izay misy fahavalo maro mitady hahafaty azy] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon'i Davida, fony Saoly naniraka, ka nisy niambina ny trano hamonoana azy. Afaho amin'ny fahavaloko aho, Andriamanitro ô; asondroty eo amin'ny avo aho tsy ho azon'izay miodina amiko.

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

²Afaho amin'ny mpanao ratsy aho, ary vonjeo amin'ny mpandatsa-drà.

³For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

³Fa, indro, manotrika hahazo ny aiko izy; miangona hanohitra ahy ny mahery, nefa tsy fahadisoako ary tsy fahotako, Jehovah ô.

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

⁴Tsy heloko no ihazakazahany sy iomanany, koa mifohaza hitsena ahy, ka jereo.[Heb. vokatra]

⁵Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁵Ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mifohaza hitsara ny firenen-tsamy hafa; aza mamindra fo amin'izay mpivadika ratsy fanahy.

⁶They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁶Miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran'ny tanàna.

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

⁷Indro, mirezadrezatra amin'ny vavany izy; sabatra no eo amin'ny molony, fa iza, hono, no handre?

⁸But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁸Kanjo Hianao, Jehovah ô, hihomehy azy; Hianao haneso ny firenena rehetra.

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

⁹Koa noho ny herin'ireny dia hiandry Anao aho; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy.

¹⁰The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

¹⁰Andriamanitra, Izay mamindra fo amiko, no hialoha ahy; hataon'Andriamanitra faly mijery ny amin'ny fahavaloko aho.

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹¹Aza mahafaty azy Hianao, fandrao hanadino izany ny fireneko. Ampirenireneo amin'ny herinao izy, ka aripaho, ry Tompo ô, Ampinganay.

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

¹²Ny fahotan'ny vavany dia ny tenin'ny molony; aoka hosamborina amin'ny fireharehany izy, eny, noho ny ozona sy ny lainga ataony.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

¹³Aringano an-katezerana izy, aringano mba tsy ho ao intsony; ary aoka ho fantany fa Andriamanitra no manapaka eo amin'ny Jakoba ka hatramin'ny faran'ny tany.

¹⁴And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁴Ary miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran'ny tanàna.

¹⁵Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

¹⁵Miriorio mitady hanina izy; raha tsy voky izy, dia any ihany mandritra ny alina.

¹⁶But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁶Fa izaho kosa dia hihira ny herinao, ary hihoby ny famindram-ponao nony maraina, satria fiarovana avo ho ahy Hianao, ary fandosirako amin'ny andro fahoriana.Ry Heriko ô, Hianao no hankalazaiko; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy, dia Andriamanitra Izay mamindra fo amiko.

¹⁷Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

¹⁷Ry Heriko ô, Hianao no hankalazaiko; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy, dia Andriamanitra Izay mamindra fo amiko.
