¹[Ny toetry ny olona izay mahazo monina ao amin'Andriamanitra] Salamo nataon'i Davida. Jehovah ô, iza no hitoetra ao amin'ny tabernakelinao? iza no honina ao an-tendrombohitrao masina?

¹A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

²Izay mandeha tsy misy tsiny ary manao izay mahitsy, sady misaintsaina ny marina ny fony;

²He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

³Tsy manendrikendrika amin'ny lelany, sady tsy manisy ratsy ny sakaizany, ary tsy manao izay hahafa-baraka ny namany,

³He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

⁴Tsy manaja ny ratsy fanahy, fa manome voninahitra ny matahotra an'i Jehovah; tsy mivadika amin'ny fianianany, na dia maningotra ny tenany aza, [Heb: Ny lavina. Na: Izay mietry sy maniva tena]Sady tsy mampihana ny volany, na mandray kolikoly hanameloka ny marina, izay mitandrina izany dia tsy mba hangozohozo mandrakizay.

⁴Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

⁵Sady tsy mampihana ny volany, na mandray kolikoly hanameloka ny marina, izay mitandrina izany dia tsy mba hangozohozo mandrakizay.

⁵His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
