Psalms 56

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou lè chante ki di: Pijon ki sou pye terebent byen lwen yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun Filisti yo te mete men sou li nan lavil Gat. Bondye papa mwen! Gen pitye pou mwen, paske mwen gen anpil moun k'ap pousib mwen. Tout lajounen y'ap fè m' lagè, y'ap toumante mwen.

2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

Tout lajounen lènmi m' yo ap pousib mwen. Se pa ti anpil yo anpil, moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.

3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, lè mwen pè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. M'ap fè lwanj pawòl li. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè m'?

5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

Tout lajounen y'ap manke m' dega. Se yon sèl lide yo gen nan tèt yo: se fè mwen mal!

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo kache kò yo, y'ap veye tout vire tounen mwen. Y'ap tann okazyon konsa pou yo touye m'.

7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

Pa gen sove pou yo, paske yo fè twòp. Lè ou an kòlè, Bondye, fè pèp yo vin ba devan ou.

8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

Ou konnen tout kouri kache mwen yo. Ou konnen jan dlo koule nan je m'. Eske tout sa pa ekri nan liv ou a?

9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Se poutèt sa lènmi m' yo gen pou kouri ale lè m' rele ou. Mwen konnen Bondye pou mwen.

10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

M'ap fè lwanj pawòl Bondye. Wi, m'ap fè lwanj pawòl Seyè a.

11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè mwen?

12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

O Bondye, m'ap ofri ou sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, m'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou pou m' di ou mèsi.

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!

Paske ou pa kite m' mouri, ou pa kite m' bite, pou m' kapab mache devan ou nan mitan bèl limyè k'ap klere moun k'ap viv pou ou yo.
