¹[Fiderana an'Andriamanitra noho ny nanambinany ny mpanjaka, ary filazana ny mahatsinontsinona ny olombelona sy ny soa hitan'ny mpanompon'Andriamanitra] Nataon'i Davida. Isaorana anie Jehovah Vatolampiko, Izay mampianatra ny tanako hamely Sy ny rantsan-tanako hiady,

¹By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

²Izay Mpiantra sy batery fiarovana ho ahy sady fiarovana avo sy Mpanafaka ahy, Ary ampingako sy fialofako, Izay mahafolaka ny vahoakako hanoa ahy

²My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!

³Jehovah ô, inona ny olona, no iahianao azy? Ary ny zanak'olombelona, no iheveranao azy? [Heb. ahafantaranao]

³Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

⁴Ny olona dia tahaka ny zava-poana, Ny androny dia tahaka ny aloka mihelina.

⁴Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.

⁵Jehovah ô, aondreho ny lanitrao, ka midina; Tendreo ny tendrombohitra, dia hidonaka ireny.

⁵Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.

⁶Ampitselatselaro ny helatra, ka ampielezo ireo; Alefao ny zana-tsipìkanao, ka ampifanaritaho ireo;

⁶Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,

⁷Ahinjiro avy any ambony ny tananao; Afaho aho, ka vonjeo amin'ny rano be, Dia amin'ny tanan'ny hafa firenena,

⁷Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

⁸Izay miteny zava-poana amin'ny vavany, Ary ny tànany ankavanana dia tanana ankavanana mamitaka.

⁸Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.

⁹Andriamanitra ô, hihira fihiram-baovao ho Anao aho; Amin'ny valiha tory folo no hankalazako Anao,

⁹O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

¹⁰Izay manome famonjena ho an'ireo mpanjaka, Sady mamonjy an'i Davida mpanompony tsy ho voan'ny sabatra mandratra.

¹⁰Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

¹¹Afaho aho, ka vonjeo amin'ny tanan'ny hafa firenena, Izay miteny zava-poana amin'ny vavany, Ary ny tànany ankavanana dia tanana ankavanana mamitaka;

¹¹Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood,

¹²Mba ho tahaka ny zava-maniry maroroka ny zanakai-lahy, Ary ho tahaka ny vato fehizoro voasoratra tsara toy ny fomban'ny lapan'andriana ny zanakai-vavy.

¹²Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished — the likeness of a palace,

¹³Ho feno ny trano fitehirizanay, ka hisy vokatra betsaka samy hafa karazana; Hiteraka arivoarivo sy alinalina ny ondrinay any an-tsahanay;

¹³Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

¹⁴Hahazaka be ny ombinay, Ary tsy hisy ho rava, na ho lasan-ko babo, Sady tsy hisy fitarainana any an-dalambenay.Sambatra ny firenena izay tahaka izany; Eny, sambatra ny firenena izay manana an'i Jehovah ho Andriamaniny.

¹⁴Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

¹⁵Sambatra ny firenena izay tahaka izany; Eny, sambatra ny firenena izay manana an'i Jehovah ho Andriamaniny.

¹⁵O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God [is] Jehovah!
