Sòm 4
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Lè m' rele ou, reponn mwen non, Bondye, ou menm k'ap fè m' jistis! Lè m' te nan tèt chaje, ou te vin ede m'. Gen pitye pou mwen. Koute lapriyè mwen.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Nou menm menm lèzòm, kilè n'a sispann trennen non m' nan labou! Kilè n'a sispann renmen bagay ki pa vo anyen! Kilè n'a sispann kouri dèyè bagay ki pa vre!
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 Pa bliye, se Seyè a ki chwazi m' pou moun pa li. Seyè a tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Se pou nou tranble tèlman nou pè, se pou n' sispann fè sa ki mal. Lè nou pou kont nou nan chanm nou, kalkile sou sa. Epi pe bouch nou.
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
5 Ofri bèt Seyè a mande pou yo touye pou li. Mete konfyans nou nan li!
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Gen anpil moun k'ap di: -Jan nou ta renmen Bondye beni nou! Tanpri, Seyè, fè nou santi ou la avèk nou!
Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 Kontantman ou mete nan kè m' pi gwo pase kontantman ki nan kè lèzòm lè yo gen anpil manje ak anpil bwason.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 Mwen moute kabann mwen ak kè poze. Kou m' kouche, dòmi pran m'. Seyè, se ou menm sèl ki p'ap janm kite anyen rive m'.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
