Sòm 108

1 Se yon chante David. Mwen pare, Bondye. Mwen pral chante, mwen pral fè lwanj ou ak tout kè mwen.

A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!

2 M'ap pran gita mwen, m'ap pran bandjo mwen, mwen pral fè solèy leve!

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!

3 Seyè, m'a fè lwanj ou nan mitan pèp yo! M'a chante pou ou nan mitan tout nasyon yo!

I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.

4 Ou renmen nou anpil anpil, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.

For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.

5 Bondye, fè wè nan syèl la jan ou gen pouvwa! Fè yo wè pouvwa ou sou tout latè!

God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!

6 Delivre nou ak pouvwa ou! Reponn nou lè nou lapriyè nan pye ou, pou moun ou renmen anpil yo ka jwenn delivrans.

Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

7 Bondye rete kote ki apa pou li a, li di: -Mwen kontan anpil. Mwen pral separe lavil Sichèm. Mwen pral fè apantaj Fon Soukòt.

God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

8 Peyi Galarad, se pou mwen li ye. Peyi Manase tou. M'ap fè peyi Efrayim tounen yon kas pou pwoteje tèt mwen. Peyi Jida, se baton kòmandman m' li ye.

Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.

9 Men, m'ap fè peyi Moab sèvi m' kivèt pou m' fè twalèt mwen. M'ap poze men m' sou peyi Edon. Peyi Filisti a menm, m'ap mache pran l' ak kè kontan.

I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

10 Ki moun ki pou mennen m' nan lavil ki byen gade a? Ki moun ki pou mennen m' lavil Edon?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 Eske se pa ou menm, Bondye, ki pou fè sa pou mwen, ou menm ki te vire do ban nou, ou menm ki pa soti ansanm ak lame nou yo ankò?

Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?

12 Tanpri, ede nou goumen kont lènmi nou yo, paske sekou lèzòm se pawòl nan bouch.

Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.

13 Avèk Bondye bò kote nou, n'a fè bèl bagay nan lagè. Se li menm k'ap kraze lènmi nou yo anba pye l'.

Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
