Sòm 41

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

2 Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.

3 Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.

The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

4 Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.

I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

5 Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?

My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

6 Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

7 Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.

All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

8 Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.

“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

9 Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

13 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
