¹{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent:

¹[Ny amin'ny loza hanjo ny manao teny ratsy sy tia ozona] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon'i Davida. RY Andriamanitra fidèrako ô, aza mangina Hianao,

²For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

²Fa nisoka-bava ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpamitaka hamely ahy; Niteny ahy tamin'ny lela mandainga izy.

³And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

³Teny fankahalana no nanodidinany ahy; Ary niady tamiko tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana izy.

⁴For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

⁴Ny fitiavako dia valiany fandrafiana; Fa izaho kosa dia mivavaka.

⁵And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁵Ny soa nataoko novaliany ratsy, Ary ny fitiavako novaliany fankahalana.

⁶Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

⁶Anendreo olona ratsy fanahy hanapaka azy; Ary aoka hisy mpanohitra hitsangana eo an-kavanany.[Na: aoka Satana]

⁷When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

⁷Raha hotsaraina izy, dia aoka ho meloka, Ary aoka ny fivavahany ho tonga fahotana.

⁸Let his days be few, let another take his office;

⁸Aoka ho vitsy ny androny; Ary aoka ho lasan'olon-kafa ny anjara raharahany.

⁹Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

⁹Aoka ho kamboty ny zanany; Ary aoka ho mpitondratena ny vadiny

¹⁰Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

¹⁰Aoka hirenireny mangataka ny zanany, Ary aoka hiremby lavitra ny tranony efa rava izy.

¹¹Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

¹¹Aoka ny mpampanàna vola hamandrika izay rehetra ananany; Ary aoka ny olon-kafa hifaoka ny vokatry ny asany.

¹²Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

¹²Aoka tsy hisy haharitra hamindra fo aminy, Na hiantra ny zanany kamboty.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

¹³Aoka ho fongora ny taranany; Ary aoka hovonoina amin'ny taranaka mandimby ny anarany.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

¹⁴Aoka hotsarovan'i Jehovah ny helo-drainy; Ary aoka tsy hovonoina ny helo-dreniny.

¹⁵Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

¹⁵Aoka ho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah mandrakariva izany, Ary hofoanany tsy ho eo ambonin'ny tany anie ny fahatsiarovana azy.

¹⁶Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

¹⁶Satria tsy mba nahatsiaro hamindra fo izy, Fa nanenjika ny ory sy ny malahelo Ary ny reraka am-po mba hahafaty azy;

¹⁷And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

¹⁷Tia ozona izy, ka nanody azy izany; Tsy tia indrafo izy, ka nanalavitra azy izany.

¹⁸And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

¹⁸Nitafy ozona tahaka ny lambany izy, Ka niditra tao an-kibony tahaka ny rano izany, Ary tao amin'ny taolany tahaka ny diloilo;

¹⁹Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

¹⁹Dia aoka ho tahaka ny lamba itafiany izany, Ary ho fisikinana isikinany mandrakariva.

²⁰Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

²⁰Izany no famaliana avy amin'i Jehovah ho an'ny mpanohitra ahy, Dia izay manendrikendrika ahy.

²¹But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

²¹Fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompo ô, miasà ho ahy noho ny anaranao; Vonjeo aho, fa tsara ny famindram-ponao.

²²For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

²²Fa mahantra sy malahelo aho, Ary ny foko dia voatsindrona ato anatiko.

²³I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

²³Lasa tahaka ny aloka mihelina aho; Roahina tahaka ny valala aho.

²⁴My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

²⁴Efa malemy ny lohaliko noho ny fifadian-kanina; Ary efa mihena ny hatavin'ny nofoko.

²⁵And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

²⁵Ary izaho dia tonga fandatsan'ireny; Mijery ahy izy ka mihifikifi-doha.

²⁶Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

²⁶Ampio aho Jehovah Andriamanitro ô; Vonjeo araka ny famindram-ponao aho;

²⁷That they may know that this is thy hand; that *thou*, Jehovah, hast done it.

²⁷Ary aoka ho fantany fa tananao izany; Hianao, Jehovah ô, no nanao izany.

²⁸Let *them* curse, but bless *thou*; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

²⁸Manozona izy ireo, fa Hianao kosa mitahy; Mitsanga-menatra izy, fa mifaly kosa ny mpanomponao.

²⁹Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

²⁹Mitafy henatra ny fahavaloko Ka misaron-kenatra tahaka ny lamba.

³⁰I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

³⁰Hidera an'i Jehovah indrindra amin'ny vavako aho; Eny, eo amin'ny olona maro no hiderako Azy.Fa mitsangana eo an-kavanan'ny malahelo Izy Mba hamonjy azy amin'izay manameloka ny fanahiny.

³¹For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

³¹Fa mitsangana eo an-kavanan'ny malahelo Izy Mba hamonjy azy amin'izay manameloka ny fanahiny.
