Psalms 28

1 [By David.] To you, YHWH, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Yon sòm David A Ou menm, O SENYÈ, mwen rele! Wòch mwen an, pa vin soud devan m, paske si Ou rete silan devan mwen, mwen va devni kon (sila) ki desann nan twou fòs la nèt.

2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo lè m kriye a Ou menm pou sekou, lè m leve men m vè sanktiyè sen Ou an.

3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Pa rale m sòti avèk mechan yo, avèk (sila) ki fè inikite yo, ki pale lapè avèk vwazen yo, pandan mechanste nan kè yo.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

Rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo ak selon mechanste yo abitye fè yo. Rekonpanse yo selon zèv men yo. Remèt yo tout rekonpans pa yo.

5 Because they do not regard the works of YHWH, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

Akoz yo pa okipe zèv a SENYÈ yo, ni travay men Li yo. Pou sa, Li va chire yo desann, e Li p ap fè yo remonte.

6 Blessed be YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

Beni se SENYÈ a, akoz Li te tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.

7 YHWH is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

SENYÈ a se fòs mwen ak boukliye mwen. Kè m mete konfyans nan Li, e mwen jwenn sekou. Pou sa, kè m leve wo nèt. Avèk chanson mwen, mwen va di Li mèsi.

8 YHWH is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

SENYÈ a se fòs yo. Li se yon defans pou sove onksyone Li yo.

9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

Sove pèp Ou a, e beni eritaj pa Ou a. Devni bèje yo tou, e bay yo soutyen jis pou tout tan.
