¹O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

¹[Fitarainana tamin'Andriamanitra, satria mafy ny fanenjehana, sady nosimbàna ny tempoly] Maskila nataon'i Asafa. Andriamanitra ô, nahoana no nanary anay mandrakizay Hianao, sady manetroka amin'ny ondry fiandrinao ny fahatezeranao?

²Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

²Tsarovy ny fiangonanao izay efa azonao fahiny, ilay navotanao ho firenena lovanao, dia ny tendrom-bohitra Ziona izay nonenanao.

³Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

³Aingao ny tongotrao, ka miakara ho amin'ny voarava mandrakizay; ny zavatra rehetra tao amin'ny fitoerana masina dia simban'ny fahavalo avokoa.

⁴Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

⁴Nierona tao anatin'ny fiangonanao ny mpandrafy anao; nanangana ny sainany ho famantarana izy.

⁵A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

⁵Ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny olona manainga famaky hijinja ny ala mikitroka;

⁶But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

⁶Ary amin'izao ny rafitra misoratra rehetra ao dia asiany ny famaky sy ny kanonta.

⁷They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

⁷Efa nandoro ny fitoeranao masina tamin'ny afo izy; nolotoiny sy nazerany tamin'ny tany ny fonenan'ny anaranao.[Heb: Nolotoiny hatramin'ny tany]

⁸They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

⁸Hoy izy tam-pony: aoka hampahorintsika avokoa izy. Efa nandoro ny tranon'Andriamanitra eran'ny tany rehetra izy.

⁹We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

⁹Tsy hitanay ny famantaranay tsy misy mpaminany intsony ary tsy misy aminay mahalala izay mbola haharetan'izao.

¹⁰O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

¹⁰Mandra-pahoviana, Andriamanitra ô, no hanaratsian'ny mpandrafy? Hanamavo ny anaranao mandrakizay va ny fahavalo?

¹¹Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

¹¹Nahoana no mampihemotra ny tananao, dia ny tananao ankavanana, Hianao? mampialà azy amin'ny tratranao, ka mandringàna.

¹²For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹²Fa Andriamanitra no Mpanjakako hatrizay hatrizay; manao famonjena eny amin'ny tany Izy.

¹³Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

¹³Nampisaraka ny ranomasina tamin'ny herinao Hianao; efa namakivaky ny lohan'ny dragona tao anaty rano Hianao.

¹⁴Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

¹⁴Hianao nanorotoro ny lohan'ny mamba ka nanome azy hohanin'izay firenena any an-efitra.

¹⁵Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

¹⁵Hianao namaky ny vatolampy hamoaka loharano sy ony; Hianao nahatankina ny ony tsy mety ritra.

¹⁶The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

¹⁶Anao ny andro, Anao koa ny alina; Hianao namboatra ny fanazavana, indrindra fa ny masoandro.

¹⁷Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

¹⁷Hianao nametra ny faritry ny tany rehetra; ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, dia Hianao no nanao azy.

¹⁸Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

¹⁸Tsarovy izao: Manaratsy an'i Jehovah ny fahavalo, ary ny olona adala manamavo ny anaranao.

¹⁹O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

¹⁹Aza manolotra ny ain'ny voromailalanao ho an'ny bibi-dia; ary aza manadino mandrakizay ny ain'ny olo-mahantranao.

²⁰Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

²⁰Hevero ny fanekena; fa feno fonenan'ny fandozana ny fitoera-maizina amin'ny tany.

²¹O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

²¹Aoka tsy hiverina amin-kenatra ny mahantra; aoka ny ory sy ny malahelo hidera ny anaranao.

²²Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

²²Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, efao ny adinao; tsarovy ny fanaratsian'ny adala Anao isan'andro.Aza manadino ny feon'ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban'ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.

²³Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

²³Aza manadino ny feon'ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban'ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
