Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
Plent David te pote bay Seyè a pou Kouch, moun laras Benjamen. Seyè, Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen. Delivre m'. Pa kite m' tonbe nan men moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
Si se pa sa, tankou lyon yo fè, y'ap pote m' ale, y'ap devore m' san pesonn p'ap ka pote m' sekou.
3 Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
5 Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
ou mèt kite lènmi pousib mwen jouk li mete men sou mwen. Ou mèt kite l' mache sou mwen, ou mèt kite l' trennen non m' nan labou.
6 Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
Seyè, leve non! Mete ou ankòlè! Leve, pran pozisyon kont lènmi m' yo ki fin debòde. Leve non! vin pote m' sekou, paske se jistis ou m'ap chache.
7 And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
8 Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
9 Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
Fè mechan yo sispann fè move bagay. Tanpri, bay moun ki mache dwat yo fòs. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri: Ou konnen tout lide moun gen nan tèt yo ak tout santiman ki nan kè yo.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
12 If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
13 And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
15 He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
Se konsa, malè li te pare pou lòt moun, se sou li li tonbe. Se pwòp mechanste l' ki tounen kont li!
17 I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
