¹[Fisaorana nataon'izay narary mafy noho ny namonjen'Andriamanitra ny ainy] Salamo. Fihirana tamin'ny nitokanana ny trano. Nataon'i Davida. Hanandratra Anao aho, Jehovah ô; fa nanintona ahy niakatra Hianao, ka tsy nataonao ho fifalian'ny fahavaloko aho.

¹A Psalm. — A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

²Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, nitaraina taminao aho, dia nahasitrana ahy Hianao.

²Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

³Jehovah ô, efa nampakatra ny fanahiko avy tany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hianao; efa nampody ny aiko Hianao, mba tsy ho isan'izay midina any an-davaka aho.[Heb: Sheola]

³Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit.

⁴Mankalazà an'i Jehovah, ry olony masina, ka miderà ny anarany masina.[Heb: fahatsiarovana]

⁴Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

⁵Fa indray mipi-maso ihany ny fahatezerany; nefa mandritra ny andro iainana kosa ny fankasitrahany; amin'ny hariva dia misy fitomaniana tonga hivahiny miloaka alina; Fa nony maraina kosa dia misy fihobiana.

⁵For — a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁶Ary hoy izaho, raha mbola niadana: tsy hangozohozo mandrakizay aho.[Heb: Na: noho ny fiadanako]

⁶And I — I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved — to the age.

⁷Jehovah ô, noho ny fankasitrahanao dia nampitoerinao mafy ny tendrombohitro; nanafina ny tavanao Hianao, dia ory aho.

⁷O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,` Thou hast hidden Thy face — I have been troubled.

⁸Hianao no nantsoiko, Jehovah ô; ary Jehovah no nifonako hoe:

⁸Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

⁹Inona no soa azo amin'ny rako sy ny hidinako any an-davaka? Hidera Anao va ny vovoka? Hanambara ny fahamarinanao va izany?

⁹`What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, ka mamindrà fo amiko; Jehovah ô, aoka ho Mpamonjy ahy Hianao.

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.`

¹¹Efa nampody ny fisaonako ho fandihizana Hianao; efa nanaisotra ny lamba fisaonako Hianao ka nampisikina ahy fifaliana,Mba hankalazan'ny fanahiko Anao ka tsy hangina. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, hidera Anao mandrakizay aho.[Heb: voninahitro]

¹¹Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.

¹²Mba hankalazan'ny fanahiko Anao ka tsy hangina. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, hidera Anao mandrakizay aho.[Heb: voninahitro]

¹²So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
