¹{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

¹[Vavaka ho an'ny tranon'Andriamanitra sy ny ankohonan'i Davida] Fihirana fiakarana. Jehovah ô, tsarovy Davida Noho ny fiahiany rehetra,[Na: Fihirana misy hevitra ambaratonga]

²How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

²Dia ilay nianiana tamin'i Jehovah Sy nivoady tamin'ny Maherin'i Jakoba hoe:

³I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

³Tsy mba hiditra ao an-daiko aho, Na hiakatra amin'ny farafara fandriako,

⁴I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

⁴Tsy mba havelako hatory ny masoko, Na ho rendrehana ny hodimasoko,

⁵Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

⁵Mandra-pahitako fitoerana ho an'i Jehovah. Dia fonenana ho an'ny Maherin'i Jakoba.

⁶Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

⁶Indro, nandre azy tany Efrata isika; Nahita azy tao amin'ny saha anaty ala isika.[Na: tany an-tsahan'i Jara]

⁷Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

⁷Aoka hiditra any amin'ny fonenany isika Ka hivavaka eo amin'ny fitoeran-tongony.

⁸Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

⁸Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, ho amin'ny fitsaharanao, Dia Hianao sy ny fiaran'ny herinao.

⁹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

⁹Aoka ny mpisoronao hirafy fahamarinana Ary aoka ny olonao masina hihoby.

¹⁰For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

¹⁰Noho ny amin'i Davida mpanomponao Dia aza mampiala maina ny tavan'ny voahosotrao.

¹¹Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

¹¹Jehovah efa nianiana tamin'i Davida, Ary marina izany ka tsy hitsoahany Ny ateraky ny kibonao no hapetrako eo ambonin'ny seza fiandriananao.

¹²If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

¹²Raha hotandreman'ny zanakao ny fanekeko Sy ny teny vavolombeloko izay hampianariko azy, Dia hipetraka eo ambonin'ny seza fiandriananao mandrakizay doria kosa ny zanany.

¹³For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

¹³Fa Jehovah efa nifidy an'i Ziona. Ary naniry azy ho fonenany.

¹⁴This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

¹⁴Ity, hoy Izy, no fitsaharako mandrakizay doria; Eto no honenako, fa efa niriko ity.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

¹⁵Hotahiko tokoa ny fihinana ao; Hovokisako hanina ny malahelo ao.

¹⁶And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

¹⁶Ny mpisorona ao dia hampitafiko famonjena; Ary hihoby tokoa ny olo-masina ao.

¹⁷There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

¹⁷Ao no hampitsimohako tandroka ho an'i Davida Sy hanamboarako jiro ho an'ny voahosotro.Ny fahavalony hampitafiko henatra; Fa eo aminy kosa no hamirapiratra ny satro-boninahiny.

¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

¹⁸Ny fahavalony hampitafiko henatra; Fa eo aminy kosa no hamirapiratra ny satro-boninahiny.
