Psalm 40:2
‘Dia nampakatra ahy avy tao amin’ny lavaka fandringanana Izy, eny, tamin’ny fotaka mandrevo; ary nampitoetra ny tongotro teo ambony vatolampy Izy ka nampijoro ahy.’
– Ny lavaka dia sary mampiseho fahapotehana na faharavàna , na koa fahantrana .
– Fa Andriamanitra dia te-hampiakatra ny zanany hiala ao anatin’izany lavaka izany.
– Tsy tiany izaho sy ianao hiaina anaty fotaka mandrevo na hiaina amin’ny fiainana feno safotofoto.
– Te hampitoetra anao ao amin’ny tany mafy sady tsara Izy dia eo amin’ny vatolampy mafy sy azo antoka.
Vavaka: Tompo Andriamanitra ô, mangataka aho mba ho avy Ianao ary hampiakatra ahy hiala ao anaty ny fahakiviana, fahadisoam-panantenana, fatotra samihafa izay namatotra ahy sy nihazona ahy ka hanangana ahy indray ho amin’ny fiainam-baovao. Amen.
