Sòm 54

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun peyi Zif yo te al di Sayil men David kache lakay yo. Bondye, delivre m' non avèk pouvwa ou! Fè m' jistis avèk fòs kouraj ou!

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

2 Bondye, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Panche zòrèy ou pou tande pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch mwen!

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 Paske gen yon seri moun awogan ki leve dèyè m', yon bann mechan ki soti pou touye m'! Yo pa menm chonje si gen Bondye!

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Men, Bondye ap vin ede m'. Seyè a ap pran defans mwen.

Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

5 L'ap fè mechanste moun ki pa vle wè m' yo tonbe sou tèt yo; l'ap fini nèt ak yo paske l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.

Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

6 Seyè, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou ak kè kontan, m'a fè lwanj ou, paske ou bon pou mwen.

I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

7 Ou delivre m' anba tray mwen te ye a; ou fè m' wè lènmi m' yo pèdi batay la.

For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
