Psalms 56
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth 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 Mine 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 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
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 fear not what flesh doth 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, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
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 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
Pa gen sove pou yo, paske yo fè twòp. Lè ou an kòlè, Bondye, fè pèp yo vin ba devan ou.
8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
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 do mine 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 Jehovah I praise the word.
M'ap fè lwanj pawòl Bondye. Wi, m'ap fè lwanj pawòl Seyè a.
11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè mwen?
12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
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 Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually 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.
