Sòm 24

1 Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a tè a ye ansanm ak tou sa ki sou li. Se pou Seyè a lemonn antye ansanm ak tou sa k'ap viv ladan l'.

A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

2 Li mete fondasyon tè a nan fon lanmè, li fè l' chita sou gwo larivyè yo.

He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Ki moun ki gen dwa moute sou mòn ki pou Seyè a? Ki moun li kite antre nan kay ki apa pou li a?

Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Se moun ki pa fè anyen ki mal, moun ki pa gen move lide nan tèt yo. Se moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa nan fè sèman pou twonpe moun.

He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 Seyè a va beni moun konsa. Bondye k'ap delivre l' la va fè l' gras.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 Se moun konsa ki pou chache Seyè a, ki pou chache parèt devan Bondye Jakòb la.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

7 Wete lento pòt yo! Louvri batan pòt yo gran louvri pou wa ki gen pouvwa a ka antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

8 Kilès ki wa ki gen pouvwa sa a? Se Seyè ki gen fòs ak kouraj la, li vanyan nan batay.

Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Wete lento pòt yo! Louvri batan pòt yo gran louvri pou wa ki gen pouvwa a ka antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

10 Kilès ki wa ki gen pouvwa sa a? Se Seyè ki chèf lame zanj yo, se li menm ki wa ki gen pouvwa a.

Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
