¹{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

¹[Fisaorana nataon'izay narary mafy noho ny namonjen'Andriamanitra ny ainy] Salamo. Fihirana tamin'ny nitokanana ny trano. Nataon'i Davida. Hanandratra Anao aho, Jehovah ô; fa nanintona ahy niakatra Hianao, ka tsy nataonao ho fifalian'ny fahavaloko aho.

²Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

²Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, nitaraina taminao aho, dia nahasitrana ahy Hianao.

³Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

³Jehovah ô, efa nampakatra ny fanahiko avy tany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hianao; efa nampody ny aiko Hianao, mba tsy ho isan'izay midina any an-davaka aho.[Heb: Sheola]

⁴Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

⁴Mankalazà an'i Jehovah, ry olony masina, ka miderà ny anarany masina.[Heb: fahatsiarovana]

⁵For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.

⁵Fa indray mipi-maso ihany ny fahatezerany; nefa mandritra ny andro iainana kosa ny fankasitrahany; amin'ny hariva dia misy fitomaniana tonga hivahiny miloaka alina; Fa nony maraina kosa dia misy fihobiana.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁶Ary hoy izaho, raha mbola niadana: tsy hangozohozo mandrakizay aho.[Heb: Na: noho ny fiadanako]

⁷Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

⁷Jehovah ô, noho ny fankasitrahanao dia nampitoerinao mafy ny tendrombohitro; nanafina ny tavanao Hianao, dia ory aho.

⁸I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

⁸Hianao no nantsoiko, Jehovah ô; ary Jehovah no nifonako hoe:

⁹What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

⁹Inona no soa azo amin'ny rako sy ny hidinako any an-davaka? Hidera Anao va ny vovoka? Hanambara ny fahamarinanao va izany?

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.

¹⁰Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, ka mamindrà fo amiko; Jehovah ô, aoka ho Mpamonjy ahy Hianao.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹¹Efa nampody ny fisaonako ho fandihizana Hianao; efa nanaisotra ny lamba fisaonako Hianao ka nampisikina ahy fifaliana,Mba hankalazan'ny fanahiko Anao ka tsy hangina. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, hidera Anao mandrakizay aho.[Heb: voninahitro]

¹²That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

¹²Mba hankalazan'ny fanahiko Anao ka tsy hangina. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, hidera Anao mandrakizay aho.[Heb: voninahitro]
