¹[Faniriam-pamindram-po noho ny fahoriana mafy] Salamo nataon'i Davida. Jehovah ô, henoy ny fivavako, ary atongilano amin'ny fifonako ny sofinao; Valio aho araka ny teninao marina sy ny fahamarinanao.

¹A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me — in Thy righteousness.

²Ary aza dia mifandahatra amin'ny mpanomponao eo am-pitsarana; Fa tsy misy olombelona ho marina eo anatrehanao.

²And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

³Fa nanenjika ny fanahiko ny fahavalo; Namely ny aiko ho lavo tamin'ny tany izy: Nampitoeriny tao amin'ny maizina aho, toy izay efa maty ela.

³For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.

⁴Dia reraka ny fanahiko ato anatiko; Fadiranovana ny foko ato anatiko.

⁴And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.

⁵Mahatsiaro ny andro fahiny ho Ary misaina ny asanao rehetra; Ny asan'ny tananao no eritreretiko.

⁵I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.

⁶Mananty tanana aminao aho; Ny fanahiko dia tahaka ny tany mangetana eo anatrehanao.

⁶I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. Selah.

⁷Faingàna hamaly ahy, Jehovah ô, fa reraka ny fanahiko; Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, Fandrao ho tahaka izay midina any am-pasana aho.

⁷Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.

⁸Ampandreneso ny famindram-ponao aho nony maraina, Fa Hianao no itokiako; Ampahalalao ahy izay lalana tokony halehako, Fa aminao no ananganako ny fanahiko.

⁸Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

⁹Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin'ny fa-havaloko aho; Ao aminao no iereko.

⁹Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

¹⁰Ampianaro hanao ny sitraponao aho; Fa Hianao no Andriamanitro; Aoka ny Fanahinao tsara no hitarihanao ahy amin'izay tany marina.

¹⁰Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

¹¹Noho ny anaranao, Jehovah ô, velomy aho; Araka ny fahamarinanao avoahy ny fanahiko ho afaka amin'ny fahoriana.Ary araka ny famindram-ponao fongory ny fahavaloko, Ka aringano izay rehetra mampahory ny fanahiko; Fa mpanomponao aho.

¹¹For Thy name`s sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,

¹²Ary araka ny famindram-ponao fongory ny fahavaloko, Ka aringano izay rehetra mampahory ny fanahiko; Fa mpanomponao aho.

¹²And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
