Sòm 30

1 Kantik pou fèt Benediksyon Tanp lan. Se yon sòm David. M'ap fè lwanj ou, Seyè, paske ou mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, paske ou pa bay lènmi m' yo chans pou yo pase m' nan rizib.

A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David. I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.

2 Seyè, Bondye mwen, mwen rele nan pye ou, epi ou geri mwen.

O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.

3 Ou rale m' soti nan bouch twou a. Ou ban m' lavi ankò, ou pa kite m' mouri. (Sheol h7585)

Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Nou tout ki renmen Seyè a, fè lwanj li! Chonje sa l' te fè. Li pa tankou tout moun. Di l' mèsi.

Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.

5 Paske, lè li ankòlè, se pou yon ti tan. Men, li ban nou favè l' pou tout tan n'ap viv. Lannwit nou kriye, Kou l' jou, kè nou kontan.

For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.

6 Mwen te santi kè m' poze, se sak fè mwen t'ap di: -Anyen p'ap janm rive m'.

But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”

7 Seyè, ou fè m' favè, ou mete m' chita sou yon mòn byen wo. Men, kou ou vire do ban mwen, kè m' kase.

O Lord, in your will, you made virtue preferable to beauty for me. You turned your face away from me, and I became disturbed.

8 Mwen te kriye nan pye ou, Seyè. Mwen te mande ou sekou.

To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.

9 Si ou kite yo touye m', sa sa ap fè pou ou? Si ou kite m' ale anba tè, sa sa ap rapòte ou? Eske moun mouri ka fè lwanj ou? Eske yo ka mache di jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?

What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth?

10 Koute m' non, Seyè! Gen pitye pou mwen! Seyè, pote m' sekou!

The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper.

11 Ou siye dlo nan je m', ou fè kè m' kontan anpil. Ou wete rad dèy ki te sou mwen an, ou ban m' yon bèl rad mete sou mwen pou m' fè fèt.

You have turned my mourning into gladness for me. You have cut off my sackcloth, and you have surrounded me with joy.

12 Mwen p'ap rete ak bouch mwen fèmen, m'ap chante lwanj ou. Seyè, se ou menm ki Bondye mwen! Se tout tan tout tan m'ap di ou mèsi.

So then, may my glory sing to you, and may I not regret it. O Lord, my God, I will confess to you for eternity.
