Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
Yon Sòm David O SENYÈ, mwen rele non Ou. Fè vit! Vin kote m! Prete zòrèy Ou a vwa mwen lè m rele Ou!
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Ke lapriyè mwen kapab konte kon lansan devan Ou; lè m leve men m, kon sakrifis ofrann aswè a.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Plase yon gadyen sou bouch mwen, O SENYÈ. Veye dri sou pòt lèv mwen yo.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
Pa mennen kè m vè okenn mal, pou pratike zèv mechan yo, avèk moun ki fè inikite yo. Ni pa kite mwen manje manje ki fèt pa yo.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Kite moun ladwati yo frape mwen. Konsa, li dous. Kite li korije mwen. L ap tankou lwil ki koule sou tèt la. Pa kite tèt mwen refize li, paske lapriyè mwen toujou kont zak mechan yo.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
Jij pa yo fin jete a tè bò kote wòch yo. Yo va tande pawòl mwen yo, paske yo byen pale.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Tankou lè yon moun laboure pou fann tè a, se konsa zo nou yo fin gaye nan bouch sejou mò a. (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Paske zye mwen se sou Ou, O BONDYE, Senyè a. Nan Ou, mwen kache. Pa kite nanm mwen san pwotèj.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Sove m de dan pyèj ke yo te prepare pou mwen yo, avèk pèlen a (sila) ki fè inikite yo.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Kite mechan yo tonbe nan pwòp filè yo, pandan mwen pase akote.
