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!

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

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 will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

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

In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

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.

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

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.

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved 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!

O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
