¹[Hira fisaorana nataon'i Davida noho ny nandreseny ny fahavalony rehetra] Ary Davida nanao izao fihirana izao ho an'i Jehovah tamin'ny andro namonjen'i Jehovah azy tamin'ny tanan'ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin'ny tànan'i Saoly,

¹David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

²ka hoy izy: Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy,

²and he said, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

³Andriamanitra vatolampiko, Izy no ialofako, Ampingako sy tandroko famonjena Izy ary fiarovana avo ho ahy sy fandosirako; Ry Mpamonjy ahy, mahafaka ahy amin'ny fampahoriana Hianao.

³God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

⁴Miantso an'i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin'ny fahavaloko.

⁴I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁵Fa nihodidina tamiko ny onjan'ny fahafatesana. Ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.

⁵For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁶Ny famatoran'ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana.[Heb. Sheola]

⁶The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death caught me.

⁷Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an'i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako dia efa tonga eo an-tsofiny.

⁷In my distress I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

⁸Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fiorenan'ny lanitra nihorohoro, eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁹Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.

⁹Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.

¹⁰Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin'ny tongony.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹¹Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina, eny, niseho teo amin'ny ela-drivotra Izy.

¹¹He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

¹²Efa nanao ny maizina ho tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia fivorian-drano sy rahona matevina

¹²He made darkness pavilions around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹³Ary avy teo amin'ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.

¹³At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.

¹⁴Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.

¹⁴Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.

¹⁵Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.

¹⁵He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.

¹⁶Dia hita ny fitoeran-dranomasina, ary niseho ny fanambanin'ny tany, noho ny teny mafy nataon'i Jehovah, noho ny fifofofofon'ny fofonain'ny vavorony.

¹⁶Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁷Naninjitra ny tànany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin'ny rano be Izy.

¹⁷He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁸Namonjy ahy tamin'ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin'izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁹Nisakana ahy tamin'ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.

¹⁹They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

²⁰Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin'ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.

²⁰He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²¹Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan'ny tanako no namaliany ahy.

²¹Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.

²²Fa nitandrina ny lalan'i Jehovah aho ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin'Andriamanitro;

²²For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²³Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;

²³For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon'ny fahotako;

²⁴I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁵Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.

²⁵Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

²⁶Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;

²⁶With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

²⁷Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.[Heb. miolakolaka]

²⁷With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁸Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.

²⁸You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

²⁹Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.

²⁹For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.

³⁰Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; Ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.

³⁰For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³¹Raha ny amin'Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; Ny tenin'i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin'ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan'izay rehetra mialoka aminy.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³²Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?

³²For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?

³³Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin'ny lalany Izy.

³³God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.

³⁴Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an'ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin'ny fitoerako avo Izy.

³⁴He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁵Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.

³⁵He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

³⁶Omenao ahy ny ampingan'ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.

³⁶You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁷Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.

³⁷You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

³⁸Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mandripaka azy; Ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalany ritrany.

³⁸I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.

³⁹Mandringana sy mandripaka azy aho, ka tsy maharina izy; Lavo eo ambanin'ny tongotro izy.

³⁹I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.

⁴⁰Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.

⁴⁰For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴¹Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.

⁴¹You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴²Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an'i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴³Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.

⁴³Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

⁴⁴Mamonjy ahy amin'ny fifanoheran'ny oloko Hianao sy miaro ahy ho lohan'ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.

⁴⁴You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

⁴⁵Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.

⁴⁵The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.

⁴⁶Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin'ny fiarovany mafy.[Izahao Sal. xviii.46. Ny dikan'ny teny Hebreo eto dia misikina avy ao, etc]

⁴⁶The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁷Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,

⁴⁷Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

⁴⁸Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,

⁴⁸even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,

⁴⁹Dia Ilay mitondra ahy ho afaka amin'ny fahavaloko; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin'izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao ary mamonjy ahy amin'ny olon-dozabe;

⁴⁹who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁵⁰Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin'ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an'ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin'ny voahosony, dia amin'i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. Will sing praises to your name.

⁵¹Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an'ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin'ny voahosony, dia amin'i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.

⁵¹He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.”
