¹[BOKY FAHAROA][Faniriana an'Andriamanitra raha lavitra an'i Ziona] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Maskila. Nataon'ny Koraita. Tahaka ny diera mihanahana maniry ny rano an'ony no anirian'ny fanahiko Anao, Andriamanitra ô.

¹To the Overseer. — An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

²Mangetaheta an'Andriamanitra ny fanahiko, dia Andriamanitra velona; Rahoviana no ho tonga aho ka hiseho eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra?

²My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

³Ny ranomasoko no fiahiko andro aman'alina, amin'ny anaovany ahy mandrakariva hoe: Aiza izay Andriamanitrao?

³My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`

⁴Izao zavatra izao no hotsarovako, ka haidiko ato anatiko ny fanahiko, dia ny nandrosoako niaraka tamin'ny maro, sy ny nitarihako azy ho any an-tranon'Andriamanitra, nanao feo mihoby sy midera, dia olona maro izay nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana.

⁴These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

⁵Nahoana no mitanondrika ianao, ry fanahiko, ka mitoloko ato anatiko? Manantenà an'Andriamanitra ianao, fa mbola hidera Azy ihany aho noho ny famonjen'ny tavany.

⁵What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance — My God!

⁶Andriamanitro ô, mitanondrika ato anatiko ny fanahiko; Izany no ahatsiarovako Anao eo amin'ny tanin'i Jordana sy amin'ireo Hermona ary amin'ny tendrombohitra Mizara.

⁶In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

⁷Ny lalina miantso ny lalina noho ny firohondrohon'ny riananao; ny onjanao rehetra sy ny alon-dranonao efa nanafotra ahy.

⁷Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

⁸Jehovah handidy ny famindram-pony nony andro, ary ho amiko nony alina ny fihirana Azy, dia vavaka amin'Andriamanitry ny aiko.

⁸By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

⁹Hoy izaho amin'Andriamanitra Vatolampiko: nahoana no nanadino ahy Hianao? nahoana no mandeha mijoretra aho noho ny fampahorian'ny fahavaloko?

⁹I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

¹⁰Toy ny zavatra mahatorotoro ny taolako no fandatsan'ny fahavaloko ahy, ka hoy izy isan'andro: Aiza izay Andriamanitrao?Nahoana no mitanondrika ianao, ry fanahiko? ary nahoana no mitoloko ato anatiko ianao? Manantenà an'Andriamanitra, fa mbola hidera Azy ihany aho, Izy no famonjena ny tavako sady Andriamanitro.

¹⁰With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`

¹¹Nahoana no mitanondrika ianao, ry fanahiko? ary nahoana no mitoloko ato anatiko ianao? Manantenà an'Andriamanitra, fa mbola hidera Azy ihany aho, Izy no famonjena ny tavako sady Andriamanitro.

¹¹What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
