Sòm 130

1 Se yon chante pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Nan mizè mwen ye a, Seyè, m'ap rele nan pye ou.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

2 Seyè, koute m' non! Panche zòrèy ou pou ou tande jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.

Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 Si ou t'ap make tout zak nou fè, Seyè, ki moun ki ta ka leve tèt devan ou?

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Men, ou padonnen nou, pou n' ka respekte ou.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 Mwen mete tout espwa m' nan Seyè a, mwen mete espwa m' nan sa li di.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 N'ap tann Seyè a, tankou faksyonnè k'ap tann solèy leve, wi, tankou faksyonnè k'ap tann solèy leve!

My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

7 Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, mete tout espwa nou nan Seyè a, paske li renmen nou anpil. Li toujou pare pou delivre.

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Se li menm ki va delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba tout mechanste yo fè yo.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
