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 for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

2 Fouye m', Seyè. Wè tou sa ki nan kè mwen. Sonde m'. Wè tou sa ki nan lide m',

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

3 Ou fè m' wè jan ou renmen mwen. M'ap viv yon jan ki dakò ak verite ou la.

For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy 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 vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

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 malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

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 will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7 pou m' fè tout moun tande jan m'ap di ou mèsi, pou m' rakonte tout bèl bagay ou yo.

That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Seyè, mwen renmen kay kote ou rete a, kay kote pouvwa ou ye a.

I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 Pa trete m' menm jan ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Pa detwi m' ansanm ak sanginè yo,

Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

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 is filled with gifts.

11 Pou mwen menm, m'ap mennen yon lavi ki san repwòch. Delivre m', gen pitye pou mwen.

But as for me, I have walked 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 hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
