< 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.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
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!
O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
3 Pa bliye, se Seyè a ki chwazi m' pou moun pa li. Seyè a tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I 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.
Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
5 Ofri bèt Seyè a mande pou yo touye pou li. Mete konfyans nou nan li!
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
6 Gen anpil moun k'ap di: -Jan nou ta renmen Bondye beni nou! Tanpri, Seyè, fè nou santi ou la avèk nou!
Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
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 joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they 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 together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
