Psalms 71
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen! Pa janm kite m' wont!
2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
Ou se yon jij ki pa nan patipri. Tanpri, sove m' non, delivre mwen. Panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'. Pote m' sekou!
3 Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
Se ou menm ki twou wòch kote pou m' kache. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m' ranpa ki pou sove mwen. Se ou menm k'ap pwoteje mwen. Se ou menm k'ap pran defans mwen.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
Bondye mwen, wete m' anba men mechan yo, anba ponyèt moun k'ap bay manti yo ak moun k'ap fè mechanste yo.
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Seyè, se ou menm ki tout espwa mwen. Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan ou depi lè m' te jenn gason.
6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
Se sou ou mwen konte depi m' fèt. Se ou ki fè m' soti nan vant manman m'. Se tout tan m'ap fè lwanj ou.
7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
Lavi m' se yon mistè pou anpil moun. Men, se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m' ak tout fòs ou.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
Tout lajounen lwanj ou nan bouch mwen. M'ap fè konnen jan ou gen pouvwa.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Koulye a mwen fin granmoun, tanpri pa voye m' jete. Koulye a mwen fin pèdi fòs, pa lage m'.
10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo dèyè pou yo touye m'.
11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
Y'ap plede di: -Bondye lage l'. Kouri dèyè l', kenbe l', paske pa gen moun pou delivre l'.
12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. Bondye mwen, prese vin pote m' sekou.
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
Se pou moun k'ap atake m' yo wont, se pou yo disparèt. Wi, se pou yo wont, se pou moun pase yo nan rizib, moun sa yo ki te vle wè malè rive mwen.
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
M'ap toujou mete espwa mwen sou ou. M'ap fè lwanj ou tout tan tout tan.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
M'ap fè konnen jan ou san patipri. Tout lajounen m'a fè konnen jan ou delivre mwen, paske se bagay moun p'ap janm fin konprann.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Seyè, Bondye, m'a rakonte bagay ou fè avèk pouvwa ou. M'a fè chonje jan ou fè lèzòm gras. Se ou menm sèlman ki ka fè bagay konsa.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Bondye, depi lè m' te jenn gason w'ap aprann mwen anpil bagay. Jouk koulye a m'ap rakonte bèl bagay ou fè yo.
18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
Koulye a mwen fin vye granmoun, tout cheve nan tèt mwen fin blan. Tanpri, Bondye, pa lage m'. Kanpe la avè m' pou m' ka fè moun k'ap viv koulye a konnen jan ou gen fòs, pou m' ka fè tout moun ki gen pou vin apre yo konnen jan ou vanyan,
19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
jan jistis ou rive jouk nan syèl la. Bondye, ou fè bèl bagay. Pa gen tankou ou!
20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
Ou voye traka ak soufrans ban nou. Men se ou k'ap ban nou lavi ankò. W'ap rale nou soti nan bouch twou a.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
W'ap fè m' pi grannèg pase jan m' te ye a. W'ap konsole m' ankò.
22 So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
Se vre wi, m'a fè lwanj ou avèk kout gita. M'a fè lwanj ou, Bondye mwen, paske w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou. M'a chante, m'a jwe mizik sou gita mwen pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
23 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
M'a chante pou ou. M'a rele sitèlman mwen kontan. M'a chante ak tout kè m' paske ou te delivre m'.
24 My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
Tout lajounen m'a fè konnen jan ou pa nan patipri, paske moun ki te vle wè malè rive m' yo gen pou yo wont. Yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè.
