Sòm 143
1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè, koute m' lè m'ap lapriyè. Panche zòrèy ou pou tande jan m'ap kriye nan pye ou. Reponn mwen, paske ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou. Ou pa nan patipri.
A Psalme of David. Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my supplication: answer me in thy trueth and in thy righteousnes.
2 Pa jije m' sou sa m' fè, se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Pa gen moun ki inonsan devan je ou.
(And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall none that liueth, be iustified)
3 Lènmi pousib mwen, li mache sou mwen. Li fè m' rete nan fènwa tankou moun ki mouri depi lontan.
For the enemie hath persecuted my soule: he hath smitten my life downe to the earth: he hath layde me in the darkenes, as they that haue bene dead long agoe:
4 Mwen santi mwen pa kapab ankò! Mwen boulvèse anpil.
And my spirit was in perplexitie in me, and mine heart within me was amased.
5 Mwen chonje tan lontan, m'ap kalkile tou sa ou te fè. Tou sa ou te fè yo vin nan tèt mwen ankò.
Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy workes, yea, I doe meditate in the workes of thine hands.
6 Mwen louvri bra m' devan ou, mwen lapriyè. M'ap tann ou tankou tè sèk k'ap tann lapli.
I stretche forth mine hands vnto thee: my soule desireth after thee, as the thirstie land. (Selah)
7 Seyè, prese vin reponn mwen. Mwen pa kapab ankò! Pa vire do ban mwen. Si ou fè sa, m'ap tankou moun ki desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a.
Heare me spedely, O Lord, for my spirit faeleth: hide not thy face from me, els I shall be like vnto them that go downe into the pit.
8 Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan ou. Depi granmaten, fè m' chonje jan ou renmen m' anpil. Se ou menm m'ap lapriyè. Moutre m' chemen pou m' pran an.
Let me heare thy louing kindenes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shewe mee the waie, that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
9 Se anba zèl ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon. Tanpri, delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo.
Deliuer me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
10 Se ou menm ki Bondye mwen. Moutre m' jan pou m' fè sa ou vle m' fè a. Jan ou gen bon kè, fè lespri ou mennen m' nan chemen ki pa gen move pa.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit leade me vnto the land of righteousnes.
11 Seyè, poutèt non ou pote a, ban m' lavi ankò. Ou menm ki pa nan patipri, tanpri, wete m' nan tray kote m' ye a.
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Names sake, and for thy righteousnes bring my soule out of trouble.
12 Ou renmen m' anpil. Fè tout lènmi m' yo disparèt. Detwi tout moun k'ap peze m' yo, paske se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destrie all them that oppresse my soule: for I am thy seruant.
