¹{To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

¹[Fiantsoan'ny efa resim-pahavalo, mba hotsarovan'Andriamanitra ny teniny] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira Al-sho-shanedoth. Miktama nataon'i Davida hampianarana, fony izy nanafika an'i Mesopotamia sy Arama-zoba tamin'ny niverenan'i Joaba ka namelezany ny Edomita roa arivo amby iray alin-dahy teo amin'ny lohasahan-tsira. Andriamanitra ô, efa nanary sy nampihahaka anay Hianao; efa tezitra Hianao, velombelomy izahay.[Arama-naharaima]

²Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

²Efa nampihorohoro ny tany Hianao ka namaky azy; amboary izay rava aminy, fa mihozongozona izy.

³Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

³Efa nampahita ny olonao zava-tsarotra Hianao, ary efa nampisotro anay divay mampiraikiraiky.

⁴Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

⁴Efa notoloranao faneva ny matahotra Anao, hatsangany noho ny fahamarinana.

⁵That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

⁵Mba hahafahan'ny malalanao, dia vonjeo amin'ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.

⁶God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁶Andriamanitra niteny tamin'ny fahamasinany hoe: hifaly Aho ka hizara an'i Sekema; ary ny lohasahan'i Sokota horefesiko;

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

⁷Ahy Gileada, Ahy koa Manase; ary aron'ny lohako Efraima tehim-panjakako Joda;

⁸Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

⁸Tavin-dranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no anipazako ny kapako; mihobia noho ny amiko, ry Filistia.

⁹Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

⁹Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?

¹⁰[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

¹⁰Tsy Hianao va, Izay efa nanary anay, Andriamanitra ô. Sady tsy nivoaka niaraka tamin'ny antokon'ny miaramilanay, Andriamanitra ô? [Na: Tsy efa nanary anay va Hianao]

¹¹Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

¹¹Vonjeo amin'ny mpandrafy izahay; fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon'ny olona.Andriamanitra no haherezantsika; fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.

¹²Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

¹²Andriamanitra no haherezantsika; fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.
