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!

I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.

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 toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

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

In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength 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.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, 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!

Yes, they shall 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.

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows 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 walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save 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 perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
