Psalms 28

1 By David. To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Nataon’ i Davida.

2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Mihainoa ny feon’ ny fifonako, raha mitaraina aminao aho, raha manandratra ny tanako ho amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna indrindra aho.

3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Aza atao indray manakipaka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanao meloka aho, fa ireny dia milaza fihavanana amin’ ny namany, kanjo ratsy no ao am-pony.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

Manomeza azy araka ny asany sy ny faharatsian’ ny ataony; eny, manomeza azy araka ny vitan’ ny tànany, valio izy araka izay iendrehany.

5 Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

Fa tsy mihevitra ny asan’ i Jehovah, na ny vitan’ ny tànany, izy, dia horavan’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy haoriny.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

Isaorana anie Jehovah, fa efa nihaino ny feon’ ny fifonako Izy.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

Jehovah no heriko sy ampingako; izy no nitokian’ ny foko, ka voavonjy aho; dia mifaly ny foko, ka ny hirako no hiderako Azy.

8 The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

Jehovah no heriny, ary Izy no fiarovana mafy hamonjena ny voahosony.

9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

Vonjeo ny olonao, ary tahio ny lovanao; andraso izy, ka tezao mandrakizay.
