< Psalms 138 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, m'ap di ou mèsi ak tout kè m'. La, devan lòt bondye yo, m'ap chante, m'ap jwe gita pou ou!
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
M'ap mete ajenou devan kay ki apa pou ou a, m'ap fè lwanj ou, paske ou gen bon kè, paske ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou, paske ou fè sa ou te pwomèt la. Se tout moun k'ap nonmen non ou koulye a.
3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.
Lè m' te rele ou, ou te reponn mwen, ou te ban m' plis kouraj.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Tout moun ki sou latè va fè lwanj ou, Seyè, lè y'a vin konnen pawòl ki soti nan bouch ou.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD.
Y'a chante pou sa Seyè a te fè, y'a di: Ala gwo pouvwa Seyè a genyen!
6 Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
Wi, Seyè a anwo nan syèl la. Men, li wè moun ki soumèt devan li. Li rete byen lwen, li rekonèt moun k'ap fè grandizè yo.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Menm lè mwen nan gwo tèt chaje, ou pa kite m' mouri. Ou leve men ou pou rete lènmi m' yo ki ankòlè. Ou sove m' avèk fòs ponyèt ou.
8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
W'a fin fè sa ou te konmanse fè pou mwen an. Seyè, ou p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Pa vire do ou kite travay ou konmanse fè a!
