¹Didst Thou not rend the heavens? Thou didst come down, From thy presence did mountains flow,

¹Dia tahaka ny fandevon'ny afony tapa-kazo maina sy ny fampangotraky ny afo ny rano mba hampahafantatra ny fahavalonao ny anaranao ka hangovitra eo anoloanao ny jentilisa.

²(As fire kindleth stubble — Fire causeth water to boil,) To make known Thy name to Thine adversaries, From Thy presence do nations tremble.

²Raha nanao zava-mahatahotra izay tsy nantenainay Hianao, dia nidina, ka nihorohoro teo anoloanao ny tendrombohitra.

³In Thy doing fearful things — we expect not, Thou didst come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow.

³Fa hatrizay hatrizay dia tsy mbola ren'ny olona, na nohenoiny, Na hitan'ny masony, Izay Andriamanitra miasa ho an'ny miandry Azy afa-tsy Hianao. [Na: niempo]

⁴Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.

⁴Mitsena izay mifaly hanao ny marina Hianao, dia izay mahatsiaro Anao amin'ny lalanao; indro, Hianao dia tezitra, ary hita fa meloka izahay; Hatramin'ny ela dia izany no toetray, ka dia hovonjena va? [Na: Miantra][Na: ary efa nanota]

⁵Thou hast met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Thy ways they remember Thee, Lo, Thou hast been wroth when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are saved.

⁵Fa samy efa tahaka ny olo-maloto izahay rehetra, ary tahaka ny lamba mihosin-drà ny fahamarinanay rehetra; Malazo tahaka ny ravina izahay rehetra, ary ny helokay mipaoka anay tahaka ny rivotra,

⁶And we are as unclean — all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf — all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.

⁶Tsy misy miantso ny anaranao, na mifoha hifikitra aminao; fa efa nanafina ny tavanao taminay Hianao ka nandevona anay noho ny helokay.

⁷And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And thou meltest us away by our iniquities.

⁷Fa ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, rainay Hianao; izahay dia tanimanga, ary Hianao no mpanefy anay, ary asan'ny tananao izahay rehetra.

⁸And now, O Jehovah, thou [art] our Father, We [are] the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand — all of us.

⁸Aza dia tezitra mafy loatra, Jehovah ô. Ary aza dia mahatsiaro heloka mandrakizay; masina Hianao, tsinjovy, fa olonao izahay rehetra.

⁹Be not wroth, O Jehovah, very sore, Nor for ever remember iniquity, Lo, look attentively, we beseech Thee, Thy people [are] we all.

⁹Tonga efitra ireo tanànanao masina, Eny, tany lavavolo Ziona, ary efa lao Jerosalema.

¹⁰Thy holy cities have been a wilderness, Zion a wilderness hath been, Jerusalem a desolation.

¹⁰Ny tranonay masina sady mendrika, Izay nideran'ny razanay Anao, dia voadotry ny afo, ary rava ny zavatray mahafinaritra rehetra.Ary mbola mahatsindry fo amin'izany zavatra izany ihany va Hianao, Jehovah ô? Hangina va Hianao ka hampahory anay mafy loatra?

¹¹Our holy and our beautiful house, Where praise Thee did our fathers, Hath become burnt with fire, And all our desirable things have become a waste.

¹¹Ary mbola mahatsindry fo amin'izany zavatra izany ihany va Hianao, Jehovah ô? Hangina va Hianao ka hampahory anay mafy loatra?

¹²For these dost Thou refrain Thyself, Jehovah? Thou art silent, and dost afflict us very sore!`
