Sòm 101

1 Se yon sòm David. M'ap chante pou yon moun ki gen bon kè. M'ap chante pou yon moun ki pa nan patipri. Se pou ou m'ap chante, Seyè!

“A psalm of David.” I will sing of mercy and justice; To thee, O LORD! will I sing!

2 M'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch. Kilè w'a vin jwenn mwen?

I will have regard to the way of uprightness: When thou shalt come to me, I will walk within my house with an upright heart.

3 M'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch anndan lakay mwen. Mwen p'ap mete okenn move lide nan tèt mwen. Mwen rayi sa moun ki vire do bay Bondye yo ap fè. Bagay konsa pa ka pran tèt mwen.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes; I hate the work of evil-doers; It shall not cleave to me.

4 Mwen pa tolere moun ki gen move kè bò kote m'. Mwen pa gen anyen pou m' wè ak moun ki mechan.

The perverse in heart shall be far from me; I will not know a wicked person.

5 M'ap disparèt tout moun k'ap pale zanmi yo mal an kachèt. Mwen p'ap tolere moun k'ap fè grandizè, moun k'ap pran pòz gwokolèt yo sou moun.

Whoso slandereth his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off; Him that hath a haughty look and a proud heart I will not endure.

6 M'ap pran swen moun nan peyi a ki kenbe Bondye fèm. M'ap kite yo rete bò kote m'. Moun k'ap mache dwat yo, se yo m'ap pran pou sèvi lakay mwen.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He that walketh in the way of uprightness shall serve me.

7 Mwen p'ap kite moun k'ap twonpe moun rete lakay mwen. Moun k'ap bay manti p'ap rete kanpe devan mwen.

He who practiseth deceit shall not dwell in my house; He who telleth lies shall not remain in my sight.

8 Chak maten m'ap fini avèk tout mechan ki nan peyi a. Konsa, m'ap mete tout moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo deyò nan lavil Seyè a.

Every morning will I destroy the wicked of the land, That I may cut off all evil-doers from the city of the LORD.
