¹{Of David. Instruction.} Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!

¹[Ny amin'ny famelan-keloka] Nataon'i Davida. Maskila. Sambatra ny olona izay voavela ny helony sy voasarona ny fahotany.

²Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

²Sambatra ny olona izay tsy isain'i Jehovah heloka, ary tsy misy fitaka ny fanahiny.

³When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.

³Raha nangina aho, dia nihalany ny taolako rehetra, noho ny fitarainako mandrakariva,

⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

⁴Fa efa navesatra tamiko andro aman'alina ny tananao; niova ny fahatanjahako toy ny azon'ny fahamainana amin'ny lohataona.

⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and *thou* forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁵Ny fahotako nambarako taminao, ary ny heloko tsy mba nafeniko. Hoy izaho: hiaiky ny fahadisoako amin'i Jehovah aho; ary Hianao dia namela ny heloky ny fahotako.

⁶For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

⁶Izany no aoka hivavahan'ny tsara tsara fanahy rehetra aminao amin'izay andro hahitana Anao; eny tokoa, na dia tondraka aza ny rano be, tsy hahatratra azy izany.

⁷Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

⁷Hianao no fiereko, miaro ahy tsy ho azon'ny fahoriana Hianao; fihobiam-pamonjena no ahodidinao ahy.

⁸I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.

⁸Hanome saina anao sy hampianatra anao izay lalan-kalehanao Aho; hitsinjo anao ny masoko ka hanolo-tsaina anao Aho.

⁹Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

⁹Aza manahaka ny soavaly na ny ampondra tsy manan-tsaina; vy sy lamboridy no haingo hihazonana azy, fa tsy mety manakaiky anao izy.

¹⁰Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

¹⁰Be ny fanaintainan'ny ratsy fanahy, fa izay matoky an'i Jehovah kosa dia ho hodidinin'ny famindram-po.Mifalia amin'i Jehovah, ary ravoravoa, ianareo olo-marina, ary mihobia, ianareo mahitsy fo rehetra.

¹¹Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.

¹¹Mifalia amin'i Jehovah, ary ravoravoa, ianareo olo-marina, ary mihobia, ianareo mahitsy fo rehetra.
