¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

¹[Fitarainan'ilay ampahorin'ny olon-tsy tia sy ny sakaiza mamadika] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon'i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin'ny andro fahoriana.

²Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

²Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin'ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin'ny sitrapon'ny fahavalony.

³Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

³Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin'ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.

⁴As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁴Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.

⁵Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

⁵Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?

⁶And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

⁶Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an'ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.

⁷All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

⁷Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.

⁸A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

⁸Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.

⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

⁹Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.

¹⁰But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

¹⁰Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.

¹¹By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹¹Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran'ny fahavaloko ahy.

¹²But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

¹²Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin'ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin'ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.

¹³Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

¹³Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin'ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
