¹{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O ùGod: for I trust in thee.

¹[Ny fahatokiana an'Andriamanitra, Izay fototry ny soa, na dia tonga aza ny fahoriana sy ny fahafatesana] Miktama nataon'i Davida. Arovy aho, Andriamanitra ô, fa mialoka aminao aho.

²Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; --

²Hoy izaho ny amin'i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;

³To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.

³Ary ny amin'ny olona masina ambonin'ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra. [Na: Dia izaho sy ny olona ambonin'ny tany, Ary ny olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra]

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

⁴Ho be ny fahorian'izay manova an'Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin'ny molotro ny anarany.

⁵Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁵Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.

⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁶Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin'ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.

⁷I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.

⁷Hisaotra an'i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin'ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko. [Na: mamporisika][Heb: voako]

⁸I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁸Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo an-kavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.

⁹Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.

⁹Izany no ifalian'ny foko sy iravoravoan'ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.[Heb: voninahitro]

¹⁰For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

¹⁰Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin'ny lavaka Hianao.[Heb: Sheola][Heb: hahita][Na: ho tratry ny lò]Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.

¹¹Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

¹¹Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.
