Sòm 28
1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè, se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' kache a, se nan pye ou m'ap rele. Pa fè tankou ou pa tande m'. Si ou pa reponn mwen, m'ap tankou yon kadav y'ap antere.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Tande m' non, lè m'ap rele ou, lè m'ap mande ou sekou. Koute m' non, lè mwen leve de bra m' nan direksyon kay ki apa pou ou a.
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Pa mete m' nan menm sak ak mechan yo, ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ak moun ki gen bèl pawòl nan bouch yo men ki gen mechanste plen kè yo.
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Pini yo pou sa yo fè, pou tou sa yo fè ki mal. Pini yo pou tou sa yo fè, ba yo sa yo merite.
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 Yo pa pran ka sa Seyè a te fè, sa l' te fè ak men l'. Se pou Seyè a detwi yo, se pou l' disparèt yo nèt alè.
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a. Li tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 Seyè a ap pwoteje m', l'ap pran defans mwen. Mwen mete tout konfyans mwen nan li. Li ede m', kè m' kontan. M'ap chante pou m' fè lwanj li.
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Se Seyè a ki tout fòs pèp li a. L'ap defann wa li chwazi a, l'ap delivre l'.
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Seyè, sove pèp ou a non! Beni tout moun pa ou yo! Aji ak yo tankou yon bon gadò. Pran swen yo tout tan tout tan.
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
