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.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
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 judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Lènmi pousib mwen, li mache sou mwen. Li fè m' rete nan fènwa tankou moun ki mouri depi lontan.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Mwen santi mwen pa kapab ankò! Mwen boulvèse anpil.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 Mwen chonje tan lontan, m'ap kalkile tou sa ou te fè. Tou sa ou te fè yo vin nan tèt mwen ankò.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I meditate on the work of your hands.
6 Mwen louvri bra m' devan ou, mwen lapriyè. M'ap tann ou tankou tè sèk k'ap tann lapli.
I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty 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.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down 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.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.
9 Se anba zèl ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon. Tanpri, delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo.
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto you to hide me.
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 your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
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.
Restore life in me, O LORD, for your name's sake: for your righteousness' sake bring my soul 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 of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
