< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Nou menm k'ap sèvi Seyè a, fè lwanj li!
2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and forevermore.
Se pou nou nonmen non l' depi koulye a epi pou tout tan tout tan.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Jehovah's name is to be praised.
Depi kote solèy leve jouk kote solèy kouche, se pou yo fè lwanj Seyè a!
4 Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
Seyè a dominen sou tout nasyon yo. Pouvwa li moute pi wo pase syèl la.
5 Who is like Jehovah, our God, who has his seat on high,
Pa gen tankou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Li chita anwo nèt.
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
Li bese je l' pou l' wè sa k'ap pase nan syèl la ak sou latè a.
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
Li bay pòv malere a men pou fè l' leve soti nan pousyè a. Li wete l' nan mizè.
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
Li fè l' chita menm kote ak chèf yo, wi, sou menm tab ak chèf pèp li a.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise JAH.
Li bay fanm ki pa ka fè pitit la yon fanmi. Li fè kè l' kontan lakay li, li ba l' pitit. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
