Sòm 138

1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè, m'ap di ou mèsi ak tout kè m'. La, devan lòt bondye yo, m'ap chante, m'ap jwe gita pou ou!

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 M'ap mete ajenou devan kay ki apa pou ou a, m'ap fè lwanj ou, paske ou gen bon kè, paske ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou, paske ou fè sa ou te pwomèt la. Se tout moun k'ap nonmen non ou koulye a.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 Lè m' te rele ou, ou te reponn mwen, ou te ban m' plis kouraj.

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 Tout moun ki sou latè va fè lwanj ou, Seyè, lè y'a vin konnen pawòl ki soti nan bouch ou.

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 Y'a chante pou sa Seyè a te fè, y'a di: Ala gwo pouvwa Seyè a genyen!

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Wi, Seyè a anwo nan syèl la. Men, li wè moun ki soumèt devan li. Li rete byen lwen, li rekonèt moun k'ap fè grandizè yo.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Menm lè mwen nan gwo tèt chaje, ou pa kite m' mouri. Ou leve men ou pou rete lènmi m' yo ki ankòlè. Ou sove m' avèk fòs ponyèt ou.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 W'a fin fè sa ou te konmanse fè pou mwen an. Seyè, ou p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Pa vire do ou kite travay ou konmanse fè a!

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
