< Psalms 63 >

1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
Salamo nataon’ i Davida, fony tany an-efitr’ i Joda izy. Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitro Hianao; mitady Anao fatratra aho; mangetaheta Anao ny fanahiko, maniry Anao ny nofoko, eto amin’ ny tany maina sy mangentana tsy misy rano;
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
Toy izany no nijereko Anao tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, hahitako ny herinao sy ny voninahitrao.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Fa tsara noho ny aina ny famindram-ponao; ny molotro hidera Anao.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Toy izany no hisaorako Anao, raha mbola velona koa aho; amin’ ny anaranao no hanandratako ny tanako.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
Toy ny voky tsoka sy tavy no hahavokisan’ ny fanahiko; ary amin’ ny molotra falifaly no hideran’ ny vavako Anao.
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
Raha mahatsiaro Anao eo am-pandriako aho, dia mieritreritra Anao amin’ ny fiambenan’ alina.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
Fa efa namonjy ahy Hianao, ary ao ambanin’ ny aloky ny elatrao no hihobiako.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Mifikitra amiko ny fanahiko; manohana ahy ny tananao ankavanana.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Fa ireny dia mitady ny aiko ka mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany; hiditra any ambanin’ ny tany izy;
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
Hatolotra ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy; ho anjaran’ ny amboahaolo izy.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
Fa ny mpanjaka hifaly amin’ Andriamanitra; ho ravoravo izay rehetra mianiana aminy; fa hakombona ny vavan’ izay rehetra mandainga.
