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!

For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

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

Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

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

My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O LORD, how long?

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

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; 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 in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

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

I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

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 receiveth 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.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
