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 of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

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 ascend the hill 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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 favor from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may 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?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, 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 heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter 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?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
