¹{[A Psalm] of David.} Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

¹[Fahatokiana an'i Jehovah, Mpiaro sy Mpitahy ny olony] Nataon'i Davida Jehovah no fahazavako sy famonjena ahy; iza no hatahorako? Jehovah no fiarovana mafy ho an'ny aiko; iza no hangovitako?

²When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

²Raha manatona ahy hihinana ny nofoko ny ratsy fanahy, izay fahavaloko sy rafilahiko, dia izy ihany no tafintohina ka lavo.

³If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.

³Na dia misy antokony mitoby hiady amiko aza, tsy hatahotra ny foko; na dia misy ady mihatra amiko aza, dia hatoky ihany aho.

⁴One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.

⁴Zavatra iray loha no nangatahiko tamin'i Jehovah, izany no hotadiaviko, dia ny hitoetra ao an-tranon'i Jehovah amin'ny andro rehetra hiainako, mba ho faly mijery ny fahasoavan'i Jehovah sy mandinika ny tempoliny.

⁵For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

⁵Fa hanafina ahy ao an-trano fialofany amin'ny andro fahoriana Izy; hampiery ahy amin'ny fierena ao an-dainy Izy; hanandratra ahy ho eny ambony vatolampy Izy.

⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

⁶Koa dia hisandratra ambonin'ny fahavaloko manodidina ahy ny lohako, ka hanatitra fanatitra hihobiana ao an-dainy aho; hihira sy hankalaza an'i Jehovah aho.

⁷Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.

⁷Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, fa mitaraina mafy aho; ary mamindrà fo amiko, ka valio aho.

⁸My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

⁸Raha hoy Hianao: tadiavonareo ny tavako, dia hoy ny navalin'ny foko: Eny, ny tavanao no tadiaviko, Jehovah ô;

⁹Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

⁹Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, aza mandroaka ny mpanomponao an-katezerana; efa famonjena ahy Hianao; aza manary na mahafoy ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy.

¹⁰For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.

¹⁰Fa ny raiko aman-dreniko efa nahafoy ahy; fa Jehovah kosa no mandray ahy. [Na: Fa na dia mahafoy ahy aza ny ray aman-dreniko, dia ho-raisin'i Jehovah aho]

¹¹Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

¹¹Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ary tariho amin'ny lalana marina aho noho ny fahavaloko.

¹²Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

¹²Aza manolotra ahy ho amin'ny sitrapon'ny mpampahory ahy; fa vavolombelona mandainga sy izay mifofofofo loza no mitsangana hiampanga ahy.

¹³Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!

¹³Raha izay re aho no tsy nanantena hahita ny fahasoavan'i Jehovah amin'ny tanin'ny velona.Miandrasa an'i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an'i Jehovah.

¹⁴Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.

¹⁴Miandrasa an'i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an'i Jehovah.
