Psalms 7
1 Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer 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 Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
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 O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
4 If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
5 Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour 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, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
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 So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
8 The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
9 Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
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 defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
11 God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
12 Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
13 Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
14 Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
15 Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
16 His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne 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 wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
