Sòm 5

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman yo rele fif pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Koute sa m'ap di ou, Seyè! Tande jan m'ap plenn!

Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David. O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.

2 Se ou ki wa mwen, se ou ki Bondye mwen. Pran ka m', Seyè, lè m'ap rele ou! Se ou menm m'ap lapriyè, Seyè.

Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.

3 Chak maten ou tande vwa m'. Kou solèy leve, mwen mete lapriyè m' devan ou. M'ap tann ou reponn mwen.

For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.

4 Ou se yon Bondye ki pa pran plezi nan bagay ki mal. Ou pa tolere mechan yo bò kote ou.

In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.

5 Moun k'ap vante tèt yo pa ka kanpe devan ou. Ou pa vle wè moun k'ap fè mechanste.

And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.

6 Ou detwi tout moun k'ap bay manti. Ou pa ka sipòte moun k'ap touye moun, ni moun k'ap twonpe moun.

You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.

7 Men mwen menm, m'a antre lakay ou, paske ou renmen m' anpil. M'ap lage kò m' nan pye ou, nan kay ki apa pou ou a. M'ap adore ou.

But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.

8 Seyè, mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'. Pran men m' pou m' ka fè sa ki dwat devan ou. Fè m' wè chemen ou mete devan m' lan, fè m' wè l' aklè.

Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.

9 Ou pa janm ka kwè moun sa yo. Se dèyè yon sèl bagay yo ye: yo vle fini ak tout moun. Anndan bouch yo, ou ta di yon kavo ki louvri, lang yo menm dous konsa pou flate moun.

For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

10 Se mechan yo ye. Kondannen yo, Bondye. Gate tout plan yo te fè. Pou valè peche yo fè, wete yo devan jè ou. paske se kenbe y'ap kenbe tèt ak ou.

Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.

11 Men, tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou, fè kè yo kontan. Se pou yo chante san rete tèlman yo kontan. W'ap pwoteje moun ki renmen ou. Ou fè yo chante pou ou tèlman yo kontan.

But let all those who hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory in you.

12 Paske ou menm Seyè, ou beni moun ki obeyi ou. Ou kouvri yo avèk favè ou, w'ap kanpe bò kote yo pou pran defans yo.

For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
