Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.
Nan Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te pran refij. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont.
2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.
Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen e fè m sekou. Panche zòrèy Ou bò kote m e sove mwen.
3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
Devni pou mwen wòch abitasyon mwen an, kote mwen kab vini tout tan. Ou te pase lòd pou sove mwen, paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen.
4 O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.
Delivre mwen, O Bondye mwen, nan men a mechan yo, Fè m sòti nan ponyèt a malfektè a ak san pitye a,
5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.
Paske Ou se espwa m, O SENYÈ Bondye, Ou se konfyans mwen soti nan jenès mwen.
6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.
Pa Ou menm, mwen te twouve soutyen depi lè m te fèt. Se Ou menm ki te retire mwen nan vant manman m. Tout tan se Ou menm ke m louwe.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.
Mwen parèt kon yon mèvèy pou anpil moun, men se Ou ki fò refij mwen.
8 My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.
Bouch mwen plen avèk lwanj Ou ak glwa Ou tout lajounen.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.
Pa jete mwen akote nan tan vyeyès mwen. Pa abandone mwen lè fòs mwen vin febli.
10 For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
Paske Lènmi m yo te pale kont mwen. (Sila) k ap veye pou pran lavi m yo ap pran konsèy ansanm,
11 Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'
Y ap di: “Bondye fin abandone li. Annou kouri dèyè l, e sezi li. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou delivre l.”
12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
O Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. O Bondye m, fè vit a sekou mwen!
13 Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.
Kite (sila) ki advèsè a nanm mwen yo vin wont e manje nèt. Kite yo kouvri avèk repwòch ak dezonè k ap chache blese mwen.
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.
Men pou mwen, mwen va kenbe espwa m pou tout tan. Mwen va bay Ou lwanj plis toujou.
15 My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
Bouch mwen va pale ladwati Ou, ak sali Ou tout lajounen, menmsi mwen pa kab fin konnen fòs valè tout jou sa yo.
16 I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.
Mwen va vini ak zèv pwisan SENYÈ Bondye a. Mwen va pale ladwati Ou, sèl de Ou menm.
17 O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.
O Bondye, Ou te enstwi mwen depi jenès mwen. Jiska prezan, mwen toujou deklare mèvèy Ou yo.
18 And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
Wi, menm lè m vye ak cheve blanch, O Bondye, pa abandone m, jiskaske mwen fin deklare fòs Ou a jenerasyon (sila) a, ak pwisans Ou a tout (sila) k ap vini yo.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?
Paske ladwati Ou, O Bondye, rive jis nan syèl yo. Ou menm ki te fè gwo bagay yo. O Bondye, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm?
20 Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Ou menm ki te fè m wè anpil twoub ak gwo pwoblèm, va fè m viv. Ou va mennen mwen monte soti nan fon tè yo.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me.
Ke Ou fè lonè mwen vin plis e vire ban m konsolasyon ankò.
22 I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.
Konsa, mwen va louwe Ou avèk ap la pou fidelite Ou, O Bondye mwen. A Ou menm, mwen va chante lwanj avèk gita, O (Sila) Ki Sen an Israël la.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.
Lèv mwen va rele ak jwa lè mwen chante lwanj a Ou menm pou nanm mwen ke Ou te rachte a.
24 My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.
Lang mwen, anplis, va pale ladwati Ou tout lajounen. Paske yo wont, yo imilye, (Sila) ki te chache fè m mal yo.
