Psalms 40
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Mwen te tann avèk pasyans SENYÈ a. Li te enkline vè mwen e te tande kri mwen.
2 He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
Li te mennen mwen sòti nan fòs k ap detwi a, sòti deyò gwo ma ajil la. Li te mete pye m sou wòch la e te fè m kanpe byen fèm.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
Li te mete yon chanson nèf nan bouch mwen, yon chan lwanj Bondye nou an. Anpil moun va wè, vin gen lakrent e va mete konfyans nan Bondye.
4 Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
A la beni se nonm ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a, e ki pa t vire vè moun ògèy yo, ni a (sila) ki vin vire nan sa ki fo yo.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
Anpil, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, se mèvèy ke Ou te fè yo, ak panse Ou yo anvè nou. Nanpwen ki kab konpare avèk Ou. Si m ta deklare yo e pale sou yo tout, yo ta vin twòp pou m ta kab konte.
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
Sakrifis avèk ofrann sereyal, Ou pa t dezire yo. Ou te ouvri zòrèy mwen. Ofrann brile avèk ofrann peche yo, Ou pa t mande yo.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:
Konsa mwen te di: “Gade byen, mwen vini. Nan woulo liv la, li ekri de mwen menm.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
Mwen pran plezi nan fè volonte pa Ou, O SENYÈ. Lalwa Ou nan kè m.”
9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
Mwen te pwoklame bòn nouvèl ladwati yo nan gran asanble a; Gade byen, mwen p ap anpeche lèv mwen; O SENYÈ, Ou konnen.
10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
Mwen pa t kache ladwati Ou anndan kè m. Mwen te pale selon fidelite Ou, avèk sali Ou. Mwen pa t kache lanmou dous Ou avèk verite Ou devan gran asanble a.
11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
Ou menm O SENYÈ, p ap refize mwen. Lanmou dous Ou avèk verite Ou va prezève mwen tout tan.
12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
Paske malè ki depase kontwòl yo te antoure mwen. Inikite mwen yo te fin pran m nèt jiskaske mwen pa t kab wè. Yo plis pase cheve sou tèt mwen. Kè m fin fè fayit.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
Fè l plezi Ou, O SENYÈ, pou delivre mwen. Fè vit, O SENYÈ, pou ede mwen.
14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
Kite (sila) yo vin wont e imilye ansanm, (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li. Kite (sila) yo vire fè bak e dezonore, (sila) ki pran plezi nan fè m mal yo.
15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
Kite (sila) yo etone nèt akoz wont yo, (sila) ki di mwen: “Wayan, wayan!”
16 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
Kite tout (sila) ki wè Ou yo rejwi e fè kè kontan nan Ou. Kite tout (sila) ki renmen sali Ou yo pale tout tan: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab leve wo!”
17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
Akoz mwen aflije e nan gwo bezwen, kite SENYÈ a toujou sonje mwen. Se Ou menm ki soutyen mwen ak delivrans mwen. Pa fè reta, O Bondye mwen an.
