Jehovah ô, efa nampakatra ny fanahiko avy tany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hianao; efa nampody ny aiko Hianao, mba tsy ho isan'izay midina any an-davaka aho.
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Fa indray mipi-maso ihany ny fahatezerany; nefa mandritra ny andro iainana kosa ny fankasitrahany; amin'ny hariva dia misy fitomaniana tonga hivahiny miloaka alina; Fa nony maraina kosa dia misy fihobiana.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
