Psalms 27
1 [By David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
Yon sòm David SENYÈ a se limyè mwen e sali mwen. Se kilès pou m ta pè? SENYÈ a se defans lavi mwen. Se kilès k ap fè m gen laperèz?
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Lè malfektè yo te rive sou mwen pou yo ta devore chè m, advèsè mwen yo ak lènmi m yo te chape tonbe.
3 Though an army is deployed against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
Malgre yon lame ta fè kan kont mwen, kè m p ap pè. Malgre lagè leve kont mwen, malgre sa, m ap gen konfyans.
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to see the LORD's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
Yon sèl bagay ke m te mande a SENYÈ a; se li mwen va chache: pou m ta kab rete lakay SENYÈ a tout jou lavi m yo, pou m kab gade bèlte SENYÈ a, e reflechi jis nan fon kè m nan tanp Li an.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
Paske nan jou twoub la, Li va kache mwen nan tabènak Li. Nan plas sekrè kote tant Li an ye a, se la Li va fè m kache. Li va leve mwen sou yon wòch.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
Epi koulye a, tèt mwen va vin leve wo sou lènmi m ki antoure m yo. Konsa, mwen va ofri nan tant Li sakrifis avèk gwo kri lajwa. Mwen va chante, wi, mwen va chante lwanj a SENYÈ a.
7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
Tande, O SENYÈ, lè m kriye avèk vwa m. Fè m gras e reponn mwen.
8 My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Lè Ou te di m: “Chache wè figi Mwen”, kè m te di Ou: “Figi Ou menm, O SENYÈ, se li mwen va chache.”
9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
Pa kache figi Ou de mwen. Pa detounen sèvitè Ou a pa deyò nan kòlè Ou. Se Ou ki konn sekou mwen. Pa abandone mwen, ni kite m sèl, O Bondye delivrans mwen an.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Paske papa m ak manman m te abandone mwen, Men SENYÈ a va ranmase mwen.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
Enstwi mwen nan chemen Ou, O SENYÈ. Mennen m nan yon wout ki a nivo, akoz lènmi mwen yo.
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out violence.
Pa livre mwen de dezi lènmi mwen yo, paske fo temwen yo vin leve kont mwen, (sila) k ap respire vyolans yo.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Mwen toujou gen konfyans sa a: ke m va wè bonte SENYÈ a nan peyi a vivan yo.
14 Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
Tann SENYÈ a. Kenbe fòs Ou e kite kè Ou pran kouraj. Wi, tann SENYÈ a.
