Sòm 111
1 Lwanj pou Seyè a! M'a fè lwanj Seyè a ak tout kè m', nan mitan moun ki mache dwat yo, nan mitan pèp Bondye a lè yo reyini.
Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 Bagay Seyè a fè se gwo zafè! Tout moun ki kontan wè yo ap chache konprann yo.
The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 Tou sa li fè, se respè, se chapo ba. Jistis li la pou tout tan.
His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Seyè a pa kite nou bliye bèl mèvèy li fè yo. Li gen pitye pou nou, li gen bon kè.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
5 Li bay moun ki gen krentif pou li manje, li pa janm bliye kontra li pase ak nou an.
He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 Li fè pèp li wè jan li gen pouvwa nan sa l'ap fè. Li ba yo tè lòt nasyon yo pou byen pa yo.
He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 L'ap kenbe pawòl li, li san patipri nan tou sa l'ap fè. Nou mèt konte sou kòmandman li yo.
The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.
8 Yo la pou tout tan, paske se bagay ki dwat, se bagay ki vre.
They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.
9 Li delivre pèp li a, li pase ak yo yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase. Se Bondye tout bon li ye. Li merite vre pou moun pè li!
He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.
10 Lè ou gen krentif pou Bondye, se lè sa a ou konmanse gen bon konprann! Bondye ap bay moun ki gen krentif pou li bon jijman. Wi, se tout tan pou yo fè lwanj li.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: His praise endureth for ever.
