Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, koute m' lè m'ap lapriyè. Panche zòrèy ou pou tande jan m'ap kriye nan pye ou. Reponn mwen, paske ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou. Ou pa nan patipri.
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Pa jije m' sou sa m' fè, se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Pa gen moun ki inonsan devan je ou.
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
Lènmi pousib mwen, li mache sou mwen. Li fè m' rete nan fènwa tankou moun ki mouri depi lontan.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Mwen santi mwen pa kapab ankò! Mwen boulvèse anpil.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Mwen chonje tan lontan, m'ap kalkile tou sa ou te fè. Tou sa ou te fè yo vin nan tèt mwen ankò.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
Mwen louvri bra m' devan ou, mwen lapriyè. M'ap tann ou tankou tè sèk k'ap tann lapli.
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
Seyè, prese vin reponn mwen. Mwen pa kapab ankò! Pa vire do ban mwen. Si ou fè sa, m'ap tankou moun ki desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan ou. Depi granmaten, fè m' chonje jan ou renmen m' anpil. Se ou menm m'ap lapriyè. Moutre m' chemen pou m' pran an.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
Se anba zèl ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon. Tanpri, delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Se ou menm ki Bondye mwen. Moutre m' jan pou m' fè sa ou vle m' fè a. Jan ou gen bon kè, fè lespri ou mennen m' nan chemen ki pa gen move pa.
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
Seyè, poutèt non ou pote a, ban m' lavi ankò. Ou menm ki pa nan patipri, tanpri, wete m' nan tray kote m' ye a.
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Ou renmen m' anpil. Fè tout lènmi m' yo disparèt. Detwi tout moun k'ap peze m' yo, paske se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
