1[Alahelo ny tranon'Andriamanitra] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon'ny Koraita. Endrey ny hatsaran'ny tabernakelinao, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, ô!
1To the Overseer. — `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.` — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
2Manina sady vonton'alahelo ny kianjan'i Jehovah ny fanahiko; ny foko sy ny nofoko mihoby an'Andriamanitra velona.
2My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
3Eny, ny tsikirity mahita trano, ary ny sidintsidina mahita akany ho azy hametrahany ny zanany. Dia ny alitaranao, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô, Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro.
3(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
4Sambatra izay mitoetra ao an-tranonao; hidera Anao mandrakariva izy.
4O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.
5Sambatra izay olona manan-kery avy aminao; ao am-pony ny lalana;
5O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
6Raha mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha Baka izy, Dia ataony misy loharano izany, ary ny loha-orana manarom-pitahiana azy.[Baka = Fitomaniana]
6Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
7Miampy hery eny am-pandehanana izy; samy miseho eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra any Ziona izy rehetra.
7They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
8Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro ô, henoy ny fivavako; mandrenesa ry Andriamanitr'i Jakoba ô.
8O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Andriamanitra, Ampinganay ô, tsinjovy ka jereo ny tavan'ny voahosotrao.
9Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
10Fa ny indray andro eo an-kianjanao dia tsara noho ny arivo; aleoko mipetraka eo amin'ny tokonam-baravaran'ny tranon'Andriamanitra, toy izay mitoetra ao an-dain'ny ratsy fanahy.
10For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
11Fa Masoandro sy Ampinga Jehovah Andriamanitra; fahasoavana sy voninahitra no homen'i Jehovah; tsy hiaro zava-tsoa amin'izay mandeha amin'ny fahitsiana izy.Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô, sambatra izay olona matoky Anao.
11For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
12Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô, sambatra izay olona matoky Anao.
12Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
