Sòm 20

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a reponn ou lè ou anba tray. Se pou Bondye Jakòb la pwoteje ou.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

2 Se pou l' rete lakay li pou l' voye ede ou. Se pou l' rete sou mòn Siyon an pou l' soutni ou.

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

3 Se pou l' chonje tou sa ou ofri ba li, pou l' kontan tou bèt ou fè touye pou li.

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Se pou l' ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen. Se pou l' fè tou sa ou gen lide fè rive vre.

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

5 Lè sa a, n'ap rele, n'ap kontan dèske ou genyen batay la. N'ap fè fèt paske ou genyen batay la, n'ap fè lwanj Bondye nou an. Se pou Seyè a ba ou tou sa ou mande l'.

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

6 Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a ap fè moun li chwazi a genyen batay la. Li rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki pou li a, li reponn li. Li fè l' genyen batay la avèk gwo pouvwa li.

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

7 Gen moun ki mete konfyans yo nan machin pou fè lagè. Gen lòt moun, se nan chwal yo yo mete konfyans yo. Men nou menm, se nan pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.

8 Yo menm, yo gen pou yo bite, pou yo tonbe. Men nou menm, nou kanpe, n'ap kenbe fèm.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Seyè, fè wa a genyen batay la non! Reponn nou non, lè n'ap rele ou!

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
