Sòm 121

1 Se yon chante pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Mwen leve je m', mwen gade mòn yo, mwen di: -Ki bò m'a jwenn sekou?

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Sekou mwen soti nan men Seyè a. Se li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Li p'ap kite pye ou chape, moun k'ap veye sou ou a p'ap janm dòmi.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Moun k'ap veye sou pèp Izrayèl la p'ap kabicha, li p'ap dòmi.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 Se Seyè a k'ap veye sou ou, l'ap kanpe bò dwat ou tankou lonbraj ou. Se li ki tout pwoteksyon ou.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Lajounen, solèy la p'ap fè ou anyen, lannwit, lalin lan p'ap fè ou anyen.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 Seyè a ap pwoteje ou pou anyen pa rive ou, li p'ap kite anyen rive ou.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 L'ap pwoteje ou kit w'ap antre, kit w'ap soti, depi koulye a ak pou tout tan.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
