Sòm 43

1 Fè m' jistis, Bondye. Defann kòz mwen kont moun sa yo ki pa konnen ou. Delivre m' anba moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, k'ap fè mechanste.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful.

2 Se ou ki Bondye mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa pou m'ap viv ak tout lapenn sa a nan kè m', lè lènmi m' yo ap kraze m' anba pye yo?

For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me?

3 Voye limyè ou, moutre m' verite ou la. Fè yo fè m' wè chemen pou m' pran an. Fè yo mennen m' sou mòn ki apa pou ou a, nan kay kote ou rete a.

Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles.

4 Lè sa a, m'a tounen vin bò lotèl Bondye a, Bondye ki fè kè m' kontan an, Bondye k'ap fè m' fè fèt la. M'a jwe enstriman mizik pou Bondye, pou Bondye pa m' lan.

And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument.

5 Wi, men poukisa m' kagou konsa? Poukisa m'ap plenn konsa nan kè m'? M'ap mete espwa mwen nan Bondye, paske mwen gen pou m' fè lwanj li ankò. Se li k'ap delivre m', se li ki Bondye mwen.

Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.
