1{To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of ùGod [abideth] continually.
1[Ny loza hanjo izay tsy miambim-bava] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Maskila nataon'i Davida, fony tonga Doega Edomita ka nilaza tamin'i Saoly hoe: Davida dia efa tonga ao an-tranon'i Ahimeleka. Nahoana no mandoka tena amin'ny haratsiana ianao, ry ilay mahery? Ny famindram-pon'Andriamanitra maharitra mandrakariva.
2Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
2Loza no heverin'ny lelanao, tahaka ny hareza maranitra, ry mpanao fitaka.
3Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
3Efa tia ny ratsy noho ny tsara ianao, ary ny lainga noho ny miteny ny marina.
4Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
4Ny teny mandripaka rehetra no tianao, ry lela mamitaka.
5ùGod shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
5Andriamanitra kosa hanimba anao mandrakizay; hisambotra anao sy hanongotra anao hiala ao an-day Izy, ary hamongotra anao tsy ho eo amin'ny tanin'ny velona. [Na: hanongana]
6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying,]
6Ny marina hijery, dia hatahotra ka hihomehy azy hoe:
7Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
7Indro, ny lehilahy izay tsy nanao an'Andriamanitra ho heriny; fa natoky ny haben'ny hareny ka nikikitra tamin'ny faharatsiany.
8But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
8Fa izaho dia tahaka ny hazo oliva maitso ao an-tranon'Andriamanitra. Matoky ny famindram-pon'Andriamanitra mandrakizay doria aho.Hidera Anao mandrakizay aho, fa efa nataonao izany; ary hiandry ny anaranao eo anatrehan'ny olonao masina aho, fa tsara izany.
9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
9Hidera Anao mandrakizay aho, fa efa nataonao izany; ary hiandry ny anaranao eo anatrehan'ny olonao masina aho, fa tsara izany.
