¹Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, -- that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

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 brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!

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

³When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

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]

⁴Never have [men] heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth 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 meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned:) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be 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 all become as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have carried 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 that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast caused us to melt away through our iniquities.

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

⁸And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

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

⁹Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

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

¹⁰Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, 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 our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire, and all our precious things are laid waste.

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

¹²Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
