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.
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to 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, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy 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.
Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil 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 to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to 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.
For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
6 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a. Li tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, For 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.
Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.
8 Se Seyè a ki tout fòs pèp li a. L'ap defann wa li chwazi a, l'ap delivre l'.
Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
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.
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
