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.
“Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; O my rock, turn not unheeding from me: lest thou turn away silent from me, and I become like those that go down 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.
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the most holy place of thy sanctuary.
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.
Snatch me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of injustice, who speak peace with their neighbors, with mischief in their heart.
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.
Give unto them according to their doing, and according to the evil of their deeds; according to the work of their hands do thou give unto them: bestow their [just] recompense on them.
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.
Because they have no regard for the doings of the Lord, nor the works of his hands: may he pull them down, and not build them up.
6 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a. Li tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
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 shield; in him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped, and my heart exulteth; and with my song will I thank 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 strength unto them, and he is the fortress of victory 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.
Help thy people, and bless thy heritage: and feed them, and exalt them unto all eternity.
