¹[Ny fahatokiana an'Andriamanitra, Izay fototry ny soa, na dia tonga aza ny fahoriana sy ny fahafatesana] Miktama nataon'i Davida. Arovy aho, Andriamanitra ô, fa mialoka aminao aho.

¹A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

²Hoy izaho ny amin'i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;

²Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];` My good [is] not for thine own sake;

³Ary ny amin'ny olona masina ambonin'ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra. [Na: Dia izaho sy ny olona ambonin'ny tany, Ary ny olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra]

³For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.

⁴Ho be ny fahorian'izay manova an'Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin'ny molotro ny anarany.

⁴Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

⁵Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.

⁵Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.

⁶Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin'ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.

⁶Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.

⁷Hisaotra an'i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin'ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko. [Na: mamporisika][Heb: voako]

⁷I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.

⁸Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo an-kavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.

⁸I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.

⁹Izany no ifalian'ny foko sy iravoravoan'ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.[Heb: voninahitro]

⁹Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

¹⁰Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin'ny lavaka Hianao.[Heb: Sheola][Heb: hahita][Na: ho tratry ny lò]Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.

¹⁰For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

¹¹Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao an-kavanana mandrakizay.

¹¹Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
