Sòm 36
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David, sèvitè Seyè a. Peche a pale nan fon kè mechan an: li mete nan tèt li pa gen rezon pou gen krentif Bondye.
To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 Li kwè li pi bon pase sa l' ye a: konsa, li pa vle rekonèt peche l' yo.
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 Tout pawòl nan bouch li se move pawòl, se manti ase l'ap bay. Li fin pèdi tèt li, li pa ka fè anyen ki byen anko.
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.
4 Li kouche sou kabann li, l'ap fè move plan. Li sou yon move pant, li dakò ak tou sa ki mal.
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
5 Seyè, ou renmen nou anpil anpil. Ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.
O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
6 Jistis ou kanpe fèm tankou gwo mòn ou yo. Jijman ou yo se bagay moun pa ka fin konprann. Seyè, se ou menm ki pran swen moun ansanm ak tout bèt yo.
Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
7 Bondye, ala bon sa bon, renmen ou gen pou nou an! Se anba zèl ou lèzòm jwenn pwoteksyon.
How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
8 Yo manje vant plen ak manje yo jwenn an kantite lakay ou. Bon bagay ou yo tankou yon rivyè dlo k'ap koule kote yo bwè kont kò yo.
They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
9 Paske, se ou menm ki sous lavi a. Se limyè ou ki fè nou wè klè!
For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
10 Toujou renmen moun ki konnen ou! Toujou fè byen pou moun ki san repwòch devan ou!
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 Pa kite awogan yo mete pye sou kou m'. Pa kite mechan yo fè m' kouri.
Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
12 Gade jan moun k'ap fè mal yo tonbe non! Yo rete atè a, yo pa ka kanpe sou pye yo ankò!
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
