Sòm 146

1 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Wi, kite m' fè lwanj Seyè a!

Praise JAH. Praise YHWH, my soul.

2 M'ap pase tout lavi m' ap fè lwanj Seyè a. M'ap chante pou Bondye mwen pandan tout tan m'ap viv.

While I live, I will praise YHWH. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Pa mete konfyans nou nan grannèg, nan moun ki pa ka delivre nou.

Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 Kou souf yo koupe, yo tounen pousyè. Lamenm, tou sa yo te gen nan tèt yo disparèt.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki gen Bondye Jakòb la pou tout sekou l', pou moun ki mete tout espwa l' nan Seyè a, Bondye li!

Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his God,

6 Se li menm ki fè syèl la, tè a ak lanmè a, ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

7 Li rann jistis an favè tout moun k'ap sibi lenjistis. Li bay tout moun ki grangou manje pou yo manje.

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. YHWH frees the prisoners.

8 Seyè a fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon. Seyè a fè avèg yo wè ankò. Li bay tout moun ki nan lafliksyon kouraj. Seyè a renmen moun ki mache dwat devan li.

YHWH opens the eyes of the blind. YHWH raises up those who are bowed down. YHWH loves the righteous.

9 Seyè a pwoteje etranje k'ap viv nan peyi a. L'ap pran swen vèv yo ak timoun ki san papa yo. Men, li detounen plan mechan yo gen nan tèt yo.

YHWH preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan. Nou menm, moun Siyon, Bondye nou an ap gouvènen pou tout tan. Lwanj pou Seyè a!

YHWH will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise JAH.
