¹O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

¹[Fiantsoana an'Andriamanitra, Mpitsara marina] Sigaiona nataon'i Davida, izay nohirainy ho an'i Jehovah noho ny tenin'i Kosy Benjamita. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, Hianao no ialofako; vonjeo aho amin'izay rehetra manenjika ahy, ka afaho;

²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

²Fandrao ny fanahiko viravirainy tahaka ny fanaon'ny liona, ary kepokepohiny, ka tsy misy mamonjy.

³O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

³Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, raha nanao izany aho; raha misy heloka eto an-tanako;

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁴Raha namaly ratsy izay tsara fihavanana tamiko aho, novonjeko aza izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana [Na: Ka nandroba izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana]

⁵Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

⁵Dia aoka ny fahavalo hanenjika ny fanahiko ka hahatratra azy; eny, aoka izy hanitsaka ny aiko amin'ny tany, ary hampandry ny voninahitro amin'ny vovoka.

⁶Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁶Jehovah ô, mitsangàna amin'ny fahatezeranao; misandrata hisakana ny fisafoaky ny mpampahory ahy; ary mifohaza hanampy ahy, fa didy marina no navoakanao;

⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁷Aoka ny firenena maro hivory manodidina Anao; ary miverena ho any amin'ny avo eo amboniny Hianao,

⁸The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁸Jehovah hitsara ny firenena; Jehovah ô, tsarao aho araka ny fahamarinako sy ny tsi-fananako tsiny.

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

⁹Aoka ho tapaka ny ratsy ataon'ny ratsy fanahy, fa ampitoero kosa ny marina; fa Andriamanitra marina no mamantatra ny fo sy ny voa.

¹⁰My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

¹⁰Ny ampingako dia ao amin'Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ny mahitsy fo.

¹¹God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹¹Mpitsara marina Andriamanitra, eny Andriamanitra Izay tezitra isan'andro.

¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹²Raha tsy ibebahana Izy, dia hanasa ny sabany; efa manenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka manamboatra azy,[Na: iverenana]

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹³Ary ireo dia kendreny amin'ny fiadiana mahafaty; ny zana-tsipìkany ataony mirehitra.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁴Indro, efa marary hiteraka zava-poana ireo; eny, torontoronina fampahoriana izy ary mitera-doza; [Heb: lainga]

¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁵Mihady lavaka izy ka manalalaka izany, dia latsaka ao anatin'ny longoa nataony ihany izy;

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁶Mitsingerina ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fampahoriany; ary eo an-tampon-dohany ihany no ianjeran'ny loza nataony.Hidera an'i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran'i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.

¹⁷I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

¹⁷Hidera an'i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran'i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.
