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!

Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

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

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

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

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

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

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

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, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee 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 laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

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

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst 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.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath 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 hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received 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 be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
