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.

Judge me, Adonai, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Adonai without wavering.

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

Examine me, Adonai, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

For your chesed ·loving-kindness· is before my eyes. I have walked 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 deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 Mwen rayi tout moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Mwen pa chita ansanm ak mechan yo.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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 in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Adonai;

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

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

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

Adonai, I 'ahav ·affectionately love· the habitation of your house, the place where your kavod ·weighty glory· dwells.

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

Don’t gather my soul with people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal·, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

10 ansanm ak moun sa yo k'ap fè krim tout tan, ki toujou pare pou achte bouch moun.

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

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

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to 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 stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Adonai.
