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!

“To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.” O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not 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 am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.

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

And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet—?

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

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.

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 men do not remember thee: in the nether world, who shall 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 sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.

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

My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.

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 wickedness; 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 will accept 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.

Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
