Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

2 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

3 Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

4 Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

5 Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

6 Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
