Psalms 27
1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?
Yon sòm David SENYÈ a se limyè mwen e sali mwen. Se kilès pou m ta pè? SENYÈ a se defans lavi mwen. Se kilès k ap fè m gen laperèz?
2 When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.
Lè malfektè yo te rive sou mwen pou yo ta devore chè m, advèsè mwen yo ak lènmi m yo te chape tonbe.
3 Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.
Malgre yon lame ta fè kan kont mwen, kè m p ap pè. Malgre lagè leve kont mwen, malgre sa, m ap gen konfyans.
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.
Yon sèl bagay ke m te mande a SENYÈ a; se li mwen va chache: pou m ta kab rete lakay SENYÈ a tout jou lavi m yo, pou m kab gade bèlte SENYÈ a, e reflechi jis nan fon kè m nan tanp Li an.
5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.
Paske nan jou twoub la, Li va kache mwen nan tabènak Li. Nan plas sekrè kote tant Li an ye a, se la Li va fè m kache. Li va leve mwen sou yon wòch.
6 Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
Epi koulye a, tèt mwen va vin leve wo sou lènmi m ki antoure m yo. Konsa, mwen va ofri nan tant Li sakrifis avèk gwo kri lajwa. Mwen va chante, wi, mwen va chante lwanj a SENYÈ a.
7 Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.
Tande, O SENYÈ, lè m kriye avèk vwa m. Fè m gras e reponn mwen.
8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.
Lè Ou te di m: “Chache wè figi Mwen”, kè m te di Ou: “Figi Ou menm, O SENYÈ, se li mwen va chache.”
9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Pa kache figi Ou de mwen. Pa detounen sèvitè Ou a pa deyò nan kòlè Ou. Se Ou ki konn sekou mwen. Pa abandone mwen, ni kite m sèl, O Bondye delivrans mwen an.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
Paske papa m ak manman m te abandone mwen, Men SENYÈ a va ranmase mwen.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.
Enstwi mwen nan chemen Ou, O SENYÈ. Mennen m nan yon wout ki a nivo, akoz lènmi mwen yo.
12 Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
Pa livre mwen de dezi lènmi mwen yo, paske fo temwen yo vin leve kont mwen, (sila) k ap respire vyolans yo.
13 Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Mwen toujou gen konfyans sa a: ke m va wè bonte SENYÈ a nan peyi a vivan yo.
14 Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
Tann SENYÈ a. Kenbe fòs Ou e kite kè Ou pran kouraj. Wi, tann SENYÈ a.
