Sòm 13

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Konbe tan ankò w'a bliye m', Seyè? Gen lè ou bliye m' nèt? Konbe tan ankò m'a rete san m' pa wè ou?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Konbe tan ankò pou m' soufri? Konbe tan ankò pou m' gen lapenn nan kè mwen, pou m' gen lapenn lajounen kou lannwit? Konbe tan ankò lènmi m' yo va pilonnen m' anba pye yo?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Gade m' non, Seyè! Reponn mwen non, Bondye mwen! Kenbe m' pou m' pa mouri.

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 Konsa, moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo p'ap ka di: Nou fini avè l'! Yo p'ap gen chans wè m' tonbe pou yo kontan!

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Pou mwen menm, se sou ou mwen konte, paske ou renmen m' anpil. Kè m' kontan, paske ou delivre mwen.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li te bon pou mwen.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
