Sòm 26
1 Se yon sòm David. Fè m' jistis, Seyè, paske m'ap viv yon jan ki san repwòch. Mwen mete tout konfyans mwen nan ou, mwen pa janm lage ou.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2 Fouye m', Seyè. Wè tou sa ki nan kè mwen. Sonde m'. Wè tou sa ki nan lide m',
Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3 Ou fè m' wè jan ou renmen mwen. M'ap viv yon jan ki dakò ak verite ou la.
For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4 Mwen pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap bay manti, mwen pa gen anyen pou m' wè ak moun ipokrit.
I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5 Mwen rayi tout moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Mwen pa chita ansanm ak mechan yo.
I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6 Seyè, m'ap lave men m' pou m' moutre jan m' inonsan, mwen pral pwoche bò lotèl ou a,
I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7 pou m' fè tout moun tande jan m'ap di ou mèsi, pou m' rakonte tout bèl bagay ou yo.
so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8 Seyè, mwen renmen kay kote ou rete a, kay kote pouvwa ou ye a.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9 Pa trete m' menm jan ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Pa detwi m' ansanm ak sanginè yo,
O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 ansanm ak moun sa yo k'ap fè krim tout tan, ki toujou pare pou achte bouch moun.
in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11 Pou mwen menm, m'ap mennen yon lavi ki san repwòch. Delivre m', gen pitye pou mwen.
But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 M'ap mache byen fèm nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a. M'a fè lwanj Seyè a nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini.
My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
