Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
Yon Priyè a David Koute yon koz ki jis, O SENYÈ e okipe kri mwen. Prete zòrèy a lapriyè mwen, ki pa sòti nan lèv k ap twonpe moun.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Kite pawòl mwen parèt akoz prezans Ou; Kite zye Ou gade avèk jistis.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Ou te teste kè m. Ou te vizite mwen pandan lannwit. Ou te sonde mwen e Ou pa t jwenn anyen. Mwen te fè desizyon eksprè pou bouch mwen pa fè tò.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
Alò, pou zèv a lòm yo, selon pawòl a lèv Ou yo, Mwen te evite chemen a vyolan yo.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
Pye mwen yo te kenbe fèm nan chemen pa W la. Pye mwen pat janm glise.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
Mwen te rele Ou, paske Ou va reponn mwen, O Bondye. Enkline zòrèy W bò kote m. Tande pawòl mwen yo.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Kon mèvèy Ou yo, montre m lanmou dous Ou a, O Sovè a (sila) ki kache nan men dwat Ou yo, kont (sila) ki leve kont yo.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
Kenbe m tankou de zye nan tèt Ou. Kache mwen anba lonbraj a zèl Ou,
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
kont mechan ki depouye m yo, lènmi mòtèl mwen yo ki antoure m.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Yo fin fèmen kè rèd yo. Avèk bouch yo, yo pale awogans.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Koulye a, yo fin antoure nou pandan n ap mache. Yo fikse zye yo sou nou pou jete nou atè.
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
Se tankou yon lyon ki anvi devore, tankou yon jenn lyon k ap kache nan fènwa.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Leve, O SENYÈ, konfwonte li e bese li; Delivre nanm mwen de mechan yo avèk nepe Ou,
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
Depi nan men mesye yo avèk men Ou, O SENYÈ, depi nan men lòm de mond sa yo, k ap resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan vi sa a. Men Ou menm plen vant a (sila) Ou renmen yo. Fis ou yo gen kont, e yo mete an rezèv pou pitit pa yo.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
Pou mwen menm, mwen va wè figi Ou nan ladwati a; mwen va satisfè avèk vizaj Ou lè m ouvri zye m.
