¹{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David.} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

¹[Fitarainan'izay nenjehina sy nampahorina noho ny amin'Andriamanitra] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-shoshanim. Nataon'i Davida. Vonjeo aho, Andriamanitra ô; fa efa mihatra amin'ny aiko ny rano.

²I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.

²Milentika amin'ny fotaka mandrevo aho, ka tsy misy hifaharana; efa miditra amin'ny rano lalina aho, ka mandifotra ahy ny riaka.

³I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

³Sasatry ny mitaraina aho, maimay ny tendako; pahina ny masoko, raha miandry an'Andriamanitro aho.

⁴They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

⁴Maro noho ny volon-dohako ny isan'izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana; mahery izay ta-hahafaty ahy, dia ny fahavaloko tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana; mampanonitra ahy izay tsy nalaiko izy.

⁵Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.

⁵Andriamanitra ô, Hianao mahalala ny hadalako; ary ny heloko tsy mba miafina aminao.

⁶Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

⁶Aoka tsy ho menatra noho ny amiko izay miandry Anao, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô; aoka tsy ho very hevitra noho ny amiko izay mitady Anao, ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô.

⁷Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

⁷Fa noho ny aminao no itondrako latsa; safotry ny henatra ny tavako.

⁸I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;

⁸Efa vahiny amin'ny rahalahiko aho; eny, efa olon-ko azy amin'ny zanak'ineny aho.

⁹For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

⁹Fa ny firehetako ny amin'ny tranonao no naharitra aina ahy; ary ny latsa nataon'izay nandatsa Anao dia nihatra tamiko.

¹⁰And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; --

¹⁰Nitomany sady nifady hanina aho, dia natao latsa ho ahy izany.

¹¹And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.

¹¹Lamba fisaonana no nataoko fitafiako, dia efa ambentin-teny tamin'ireny aho.

¹²They that sit in the gate talk of me, and [I am] the song of the drunkards.

¹²Miresaka ahy izay mipetraka eo am-bavahady; ary ataon'ny mpisotro toaka an-kira aho.

¹³But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

¹³Fa izaho hivavaka aminao amin'ny andro fankasitrahana, Jehovah ô, dia aminao , Andriamanitra ô noho ny haben'ny famindram-ponao; valio aho araka ny hamarinan'ny famonjenao.

¹⁴Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.

¹⁴Afaho amin'ny fotaka aho, ka aza avela hilentika; vonjeo aho amin'izay mankahala ahy sy amin'ny rano lalina.

¹⁵Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

¹⁵Aza avela hanafotra ahy ny rano mandriaka, na hitelina ahy ny lalina; ary aza avela hikatom-bava amiko ny lavaka fantsakana.

¹⁶Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;

¹⁶Valio aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara ny famindram-ponao; todiho aho araka ny haben'ny fiantranao.

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.

¹⁷Ary aza manafina ny tavanao amin'ny mpanomponao; fa azom-pahoriana aho, koa faingàna hamaly ahy Hianao.

¹⁸Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

¹⁸Hatony ny fanahiko, avoty izy; Eny, vonjeo aho noho ny ataon'ny fahavaloko.

¹⁹*Thou* knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

¹⁹Hianao no mahalala ny latsa mihatra amiko ary ny fahamenarako sy ny fahafaham-boninahitro; Eo anatrehanao ny mpandrafy ahy rehetra.

²⁰Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

²⁰Ny latsa dia nanorotoro ny foko ka reraka indrindra aho; ary niandry antra aho, fa tsy nisy, sy mpanony fa tsy nahita.

²¹Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²¹Fa zava-mangidy no nomeny ho haniko; ary vinaingitra no natolony ahy hosotroina, raha nangetaheta aho.

²²Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;

²²Aoka ho fandrika ho azy ny latabany eo anoloany; eny, ho tonta ho an'ny tsy manana ahiahy.

²³Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.

²³Aoka ho jamba ny masony mba tsy hahita; ary ampangozohozoy mandrakariva ny valahany.

²⁴Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

²⁴Aidino aminy ny fahatezeranao; ary aoka hahatratra azy ny firehetan'ny fahaviniranao.

²⁵Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.

²⁵Aoka ho foana ny tobiny; aza avela hisy hitoetra ao an-dainy.

²⁶For they persecute him whom *thou* hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

²⁶Fa izay nasianao no nenjehiny; Ary ny fahararian'ny voatsindronao dia lazalazainy.

²⁷Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

²⁷Aoka hiampy ny helony; ary aoka tsy hiditra amin'ny fahamarinanao izy.

²⁸Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

²⁸Aoka hovonoina tsy ho eo amin'ny bokin'ny velona ny anarany, ary aoka tsy hosoratana eo amin'ny marina.

²⁹But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

²⁹Fa izaho dia ory sy mahantra, Andriamanitra ô; aoka ny famonjenao no hanandratra ahy.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;

³⁰Hankalaza ny anaran'Andriamanitra amin'ny fihirana aho, ary hidera Azy amin'ny fisaorana.

³¹And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, -- a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.

³¹Fa ho sitrak'i Jehovah Izany mihoatra noho ny vantotr'ombilahy, izay manan-tandroka sady mivaky kitro.

³²The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

³²Hahita izany ny mpandefitra ka ho faly; aoka ho velona ny fonareo, ry mpitady an'Andriamanitra.

³³For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.

³³Fa mihaino ny malahelo Jehovah, ary ny olony mifatotra tsy mba hamavoiny.

³⁴Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.

³⁴Aoka hidera Azy ny lanitra sy ny tany, ny ranomasina sy izay rehetra mihetsika ao aminy.

³⁵For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:

³⁵Fa Andriamanitra hamonjy an'i Ziona sady hanangana ny tanànan'ny Joda; ary hitoetra ao ny olony ka ho tompony;Dia handova azy ny taranaky ny mpanompony; ary hitoetra ao izay tia ny anarany.

³⁶And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

³⁶Dia handova azy ny taranaky ny mpanompony; ary hitoetra ao izay tia ny anarany.
