< Psalms 7 >

1 A Shiggaion of David which he sang to Yahweh on [the] words of Cush a Ben-jaminite. O Yahweh God my in you I have sought refuge save me from all pursuers my and deliver me.
Plent David te pote bay Seyè a pou Kouch, moun laras Benjamen. Seyè, Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen. Delivre m'. Pa kite m' tonbe nan men moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
2 Lest he should tear to pieces like a lion self my tearing and there not [is] a deliverer.
Si se pa sa, tankou lyon yo fè, y'ap pote m' ale, y'ap devore m' san pesonn p'ap ka pote m' sekou.
3 O Yahweh God my if I have done this if there [is] unrighteousness in hands my.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, si m' te fè bagay sa yo vre, si m' te fè yon moun mal,
4 If I have repaid [one who] is at peace with me evil and I have rescued! opposer my without cause.
si m' te aji mal ak moun ki te fè m' byen, si m' te pèsekite lènmi m' san rezon,
5 May he pursue an enemy - life my and may he overtake [it] and he may trample to the earth life my and honor my - to the dust may he lay (Selah)
ou mèt kite lènmi pousib mwen jouk li mete men sou mwen. Ou mèt kite l' mache sou mwen, ou mèt kite l' trennen non m' nan labou.
6 Arise! O Yahweh - in anger your raise yourself on [the] furi of opposers my and awake! to me justice you have commanded.
Seyè, leve non! Mete ou ankòlè! Leve, pran pozisyon kont lènmi m' yo ki fin debòde. Leve non! vin pote m' sekou, paske se jistis ou m'ap chache.
7 And an assembly of nations may it surround you and over it to the height return!
Sanble tout nasyon yo bò kote ou. Rete nan syèl la, gouvènen yo tout.
8 Yahweh let him judge peoples vindicate me O Yahweh according to righteousness my and according to integrity my on me.
Ou menm Seyè, ou se jij tout moun. Tanpri, Seyè, fè m' jistis paske mwen mache dwat, mwen inonsan.
9 May it come to an end please [the] evil of - wicked [people] and may you establish [the] righteous and [who] tests hearts and kidneys O God righteous.
Fè mechan yo sispann fè move bagay. Tanpri, bay moun ki mache dwat yo fòs. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri: Ou konnen tout lide moun gen nan tèt yo ak tout santiman ki nan kè yo.
10 Shield my [is] on God a deliverer of [people] upright of heart.
Se Bondye ki defans mwen. Li delivre tout moun ki mache dwat.
11 God [is] a judge righteous and God [is] indignant on every day.
Bondye se yon jij ki san patipri: Li toujou kondannen mechan yo.
12 If not anyone will repent sword his he will sharpen bow his he has bent and he has prepared it.
Si yon moun pa chanje lavi li, Bondye ap file nepe li, l'ap pare banza li pou l' vize li.
13 And for him he has prepared weapons of death arrows his into burning [things] he will make.
Bondye ap pare zam sa yo pou touye li. L'ap sèvi ak flèch li yo pou simen dife.
14 There! he is in labor with wickedness and he conceives mischief and he brings forth falsehood.
Gade jan mechan an gen move lide nan kè li! L'ap fè plan pou fè moun mal. L'ap plede bay manti.
15 A pit he digs and he has dug it and he has fallen in [the] pit [which] he made.
Li fouye yon gwo twou byen fon nan tè a. Lèfini, se li menm ki tonbe ladan li.
16 It returns mischief his on own head his and on scalp his violence his it comes down.
Se konsa, malè li te pare pou lòt moun, se sou li li tonbe. Se pwòp mechanste l' ki tounen kont li!
17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to righteousness his and I will sing praise to [the] name of Yahweh [the] Most High.
Mwen menm, m'ap di Seyè a mèsi pou jistis li. M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ki anwo nan syèl la.
