¹[Vavaka nataon'ny mpanompon'Andriamanitra, fony nenjehin'ny mpirehareha izy] Fivavak'i Davida. Atongilano ny sofinao, Jehovah ô, ka valio aho, Fa ory sy malahelo.

¹A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

²Arovy ny fanahiko, fa masina aho; Andriamanitro ô, vonjeo ny mpanomponao, Izay matoky Anao.

²Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

³Tompo ô, mamindrà fo amiko; Fa Hianao no itarainako mandrakariva.

³Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

⁴Ampifalio ny fanahin'ny mpanomponao; Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, no ananganako ny fanahiko.

⁴Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

⁵Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, no tsara sady mamela heloka Ary be famindram-po amin'izay rehetra miantso Anao.

⁵For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

⁶Mandrenesa ny fivavako, Jehovah ô, Ary henoy ny feon'ny fifonako.

⁶Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷Amin'ny andro fahoriako dia miantso Anao aho, Fa mamaly ahy Hianao.

⁷In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

⁸Tsy misy tahaka Anao, Tompo ô, amin'ireo andriamanitra; Ary tsy misy tahaka ny asanao.

⁸There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

⁹Ny firenena rehetra nataonao dia ho avy hiankohoka eo anatrehanao, Tompo ô, Ka hanome voninahitra ny anaranao.

⁹All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

¹⁰Fa lehibe Hianao ka manao zava-mahagaga; Hianao irery ihany no Andriamanitra.

¹⁰For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.

¹¹Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô, Dia handeha amin'ny fahamarinanao aho; Ampiraiso ny foko hatahotra ny anaranao.

¹¹Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

¹²Hidera Anao amin'ny foko rehetra aho, Andriamanitro Tompo ô Hanome voninahitra ny anaranao mandrakizay aho.

¹²I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

¹³Fa lehibe ny famindram-ponao amiko; Ary efa novonjenao ny fanahiko tsy ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ambany indrindra.[Heb. Shoela]

¹³For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

¹⁴Andriamanitra ô, ny mpirehareha mitsangana hanohitra ahy, Ary ny antokon'ny lozabe mitady ny aiko; Ary tsy mba heveriny fa eo anatrehany Hianao.

¹⁴O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

¹⁵Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, dia Andriamanitra mamindrà fo sy miantra, Mahari-po sady be famindram-po sy fahamarinana.

¹⁵And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

¹⁶Todiho aho ka amindrao fo; Omeo ny herinao ny mpanomponao, Ary vonjeo ny zanaky ny ankizivavinao.Anehoy famantarana ny ho soa aho, Mba ho hitan'izay mankahala ahy, ka ho menatra izy; Fa Hianao Jehovah ô, no namonjy sy nampionona ahy.

¹⁶Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

¹⁷Anehoy famantarana ny ho soa aho, Mba ho hitan'izay mankahala ahy, ka ho menatra izy; Fa Hianao Jehovah ô, no namonjy sy nampionona ahy.

¹⁷Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
