¹{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

¹[Fitarainana ataon'izay alaim-panahy sy enjehina] Salamo nataon'i Davida. Jehovah ô, mitaraina aminao aho, faingàna hankatỳ amiko; Henoy ny feoko amin'ny fiantsoako Anao.

²Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.

²Aoka hankeo anatrehanao mandrakariva toy ny ditin-kazo manitra ny fivavako, Ary ho toy ny fanatitra hariva ny fanandratako ny tanako.

³Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

³Jehovah ô, asio fiambenana eo anoloan'ny vavako; Ambeno ny varavaran'ny molotro.

⁴Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

⁴Aza avela hirona ho amin'ny zava-dratsy ny foko, Hiray raharaha amin'ny olona mpanao ratsy hanao izay asa tsy mety; Ary aoka tsy hihinana ny zava-piny aho.

⁵Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.

⁵Aoka ny marina hamely ahy amin'ny fahalemen-panahy ka hananatra ahy, Fa diloilo ahosotra ny lohako izany, ary aoka tsy handà izany ny lohako; Fa ny hany heriko dia ny mbola hivavaka ihany noho ny faharatsian'ireny.

⁶When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.

⁶Havarina amin'ny hantsam-bato ny mpitsara azy, Dia hankasitraka ny teniko ny olona.

⁷Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.

⁷Toy ny fiasa sy ny fihevo ny tany No nanelezana ny taolanay teo am-bavan'ny fiainan-tsi-hita. [Heb. Sheola]

⁸For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.

⁸Fa Hianao no andrandrain'ny masoko, Jehovah Tompo ô; Hianao no ialofako, aza mandatsaka ny aiko.

⁹Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

⁹Arovy aho amin'ny fandrika amandrihany ahy Sy amin'ny tadivavaran'ny mpanao ratsy.Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin'ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.

¹⁰Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that *I* withal pass over.

¹⁰Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin'ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.
