¹O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

¹[Fifonana noho ny faharavana nataon'ny fahavalo] Salamo nataon'i Asafa. Andriamanitra ô, tonga eto amin'ny lovanao ny jentilisa, ka nandoto ny tempolinao masina sady nanao an'i Jerosalema ho korontam-bato.

²The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

²Ny fatin'ny mpanomponao nomeny hohanin'ny voro-manidina, ny nofon'ny olonao masina ho an'ny bibidia;

³Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

³Ny ràny naidiny manodidina an'i Jerosalema tahaka ny rano, ary tsy nisy handevina.

⁴We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁴Tonga fandatsan'ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran'izay manodidina anay.

⁵How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁵Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô, no hanontolo fo Hianao, ka hirehitra tahaka ny afo ny fahasaro-piaoronao?

⁶Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

⁶Aidino amin'ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala Anao ny fahatezeranao, sy amin'ny fanjakana izay tsy miantso ny anaranao;

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

⁷Fa efa nandany an'i Jakoba izy ireo sady nandrava ny fonenany.

⁸O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

⁸Aza tsarovana aminay ny heloky ny razanay; aoka ho avy faingana hitsena anay ny fiantrànao, fa reraka indrindra izahay.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

⁹Vonjeo izahay, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena anay ô, noho ny voninahitry ny anaranao; ary afaho izahay, ka mamelà ny helokay, noho ny anaranao.

¹⁰Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

¹⁰Nahoana ny jentilisa no hanao hoe: aiza izay Andriamaniny? aoka ho fantatra amin'ny jentilisa eo imasonay ny famaliana ny ran'ny mpanomponao izay nalatsaka.

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

¹¹Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fisentoan'ny mpifatotra; araka ny halehiben'ny sandrinao dia arovy tsy ho faty ny zanaky ny fahafatesana.

¹²And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹²Ary valio impito heny ho ao an-tratran'ny mifanila fonenana aminay ny fanaratsiana izay nanaratsiany Anao, Tompo ô.Fa izahay, olonao sy ondry fiandrinao, dia hisaotra Anao mandrakizay; hatramin'ny taranaka fara mandimby no hilazanay ny fideràna Anao.

¹³So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

¹³Fa izahay, olonao sy ondry fiandrinao, dia hisaotra Anao mandrakizay; hatramin'ny taranaka fara mandimby no hilazanay ny fideràna Anao.
