Salamo 64

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny feoko, raha mitaraina aho, Andriamanitra ô; arovy ny aiko amin’ ny tahotro ny fahavalo.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.

2 Afeno aho tsy ho azon’ ny firaisan-tetiky ny ratsy fanahy, sy ny fitabataban’ ny mpanao ratsy,

You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.

3 Izay mandranitra ny lelany ho tahaka ny sabatra, ka mikendry handefa ny zana-tsipìkany, dia teny mangidy.

For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,

4 Mba hitifitra mangingina ny mahitsy; mitifitra azy tampoka izy ka tsy matahotra.

so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.

5 Hamafiny ny hevi-dratsiny; mifampitaona hanao fandri-totofana izy ka manao hoe: iza no hahita izany?

They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”

6 Manao saim-petsy izy; omaniny tsara ny sain-dalina voaheviny; lalina ny ao anatin’ ny olombelona, dia ny fony.

They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,

7 Mitifitra azy Andriamanitra; tampoka toy ny fiantefan’ ny zana-tsipìka no fahavoazany.

and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,

8 Apotrany izy ka voasingotra ny lelany ihany; mandositra izay rehetra mahita azy.

and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;

9 Dia matahotra ny olona rehetra ka manambara ny ataon’ Andriamanitra sady mandinika tsara ny asany.

and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.

10 Mifaly amin’ i Jehovah ny marina ka mialoka aminy; eny, mifaly tena ny mahitsy fo rehetra.

The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
