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 direktè koral la. Yon powèm David lè Filisten yo te sezi li Gath. Chante pa melodi “Toutrèl San Chanson Nan Peyi Lwen An” Fè m gras, O Bondye, paske lòm fin foule m anba pye; Nan goumen tout lajounen, li vin oprime mwen.

2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,

Lènmi m yo vle vale m tout lajounen. Yo anpil! Tout (sila) ki goumen ak ògèy kont mwen yo.

3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

Lè mwen pè, mwen va mete konfyans nan Ou.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

Nan Bondye, mwen fè lwanj pawòl Li! Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?

5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,

Tout lajounen, yo tòde pawòl mwen yo. Tout panse yo kont mwen se pou mal.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Yo atake, yo kache, yo veye pa mwen yo. Y ap tann pou rache lavi m.

7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

Akoz mechanste sa a, jete yo deyò. Nan kòlè Ou, fè desann moun sa yo, O Bondye!

8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

Ou te byen konte tout egare mwen fè. Mete tout gout dlo ki sòti nan zye m yo nan boutèy Ou. Èske yo tout 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.

Konsa, lènmi mwen yo va vire fè bak nan jou ke m rele a. Men sa m byen konnen: Bondye pou mwen.

10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

Nan Bondye, ma louwe pawòl li. Nan SENYÈ a, ma louwe pawòl li.

11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?

12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

Ve Ou yo mare sou mwen, O Bondye. Mwen va rann ofrann remèsiman a Ou menm.

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 te delivre nanm mwen soti nan lanmò. Ou te anpeche pye mwen glise tonbe, pou m ta kab mache devan Bondye nan limyè a moun vivan yo.
