Sòm 6

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Sou wityèm lan. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, pa pini m' lè ou fache! Pa kale m' lè ou an kòlè!

In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.

2 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske mwen santi m' san fòs. Geri mwen, Seyè, paske m'ap deperi.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,

3 Lespri m' boulvèse anpil, Seyè. Pou konbe tan bagay sa a la ankò?

and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?

4 Tounen vin delivre m' non, Seyè! Jan ou gen kè sansib sa a, pa kite m' mouri.

Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.

5 Paske, lè yon moun mouri li pa chonje ou ankò. Pesonn pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)

For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell? (Sheol h7585)

6 Se fini m'ap fini afòs m'ap kriye. Lannwit, kabann mwen mouye nèt afòs jè m' kouri dlo.

I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.

7 Figi m' fin rale afòs mwen gen lapenn. Mwen fin vye anba moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.

My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.

8 Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou tout k'ap fè sa ki mal, paske Seyè a tande lè m'ap kriye.

Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Li tande m' lè m'ap rele nan pye li. Li reponn mwen lè m'ap lapriyè li.

The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.

10 Tout lènmi m' yo pral wont, y'ap pè. Se vre wi. Y'ap kouri fè bak. Y'ap rete konsa lawont ap pran yo.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
