¹[Salamo hatao amin'ny maraina, milaza ny amin'ny olona mahazo manatona an'Andriamanitra, sy ny hitsarana ny ratsy fanahy] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin'ny sodina. Salamo nataon'i Davida. Jehovah ô, henoy ny teniko; fantaro ny eritreritro.

¹To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.` — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

²Henoy ny feon'ny fitarainako, ry Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro ô;fa Hianao no ivavahako.

²Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

³Jehovah ô, maraina no handrenesanao ny feoko; maraina no hivavahako aminao, ka hanandrandra aho.[Heb: handaharako]

³Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

⁴Fa tsy Andriamanitra mankasitraka izay ratsy Hianao; tsy hitoetra aminao ny ratsy.

⁴For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

⁵Tsy hahazo mijanona eo imasonao ny mpirehareha; halanao ny mpanao ratsy rehetra.

⁵The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

⁶Haringanao ny mpiteny lainga;ny olona mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka dia ataon'i Jehovah ho zava-betaveta.

⁶Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

⁷Fa izaho kosa noho ny haben'ny famindram-ponao dia hiditra ao an-tranonao; hiankohoka manatrika ny lapanao masina amin'ny fahatahorana anao aho.

⁷And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

⁸Jehovah ô, tariho amin'ny fahamarinanao aho noho ny amin'ny mpampahory ahy; ataovy marina eo anoloako ny lalanao.

⁸O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

⁹Fa tsy misy azo itokiana ny aloaky ny vavany; ny ao anatiny dia tena faharatsiana; fasana misokatra ny tendany. Mandambolambo ny lelany izy.[Na: lavaka mitanatana]

⁹For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

¹⁰Helohy izy, Andriamanitra ô; Aoka ho lavon'ny saina ataony izy; Roahy izy noho ny haben'ny fahotany, satria efa niodina taminao.

¹⁰Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

¹¹Dia hifaly izay rehetra mialoka aminao, hihoby mandrakariva izy, koa miarova azy Hianao; ka dia ho ravoravo aminao izay tia ny anaranao.Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, mitahy ny marina; fankasitrahana no ataonao manodidina azy toy ny ampinga lehibe.

¹¹And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

¹²Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, mitahy ny marina; fankasitrahana no ataonao manodidina azy toy ny ampinga lehibe.

¹²For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
